title: Self-assembly of a redox active water soluble Pd6L8 'molecular dice'.
abstract: A water soluble 'molecular dice' was synthesised via coordination driven self-assembly of a Pd(II) ion with a flexible cationic tritopic donor and was fully characterised using NMR, ESI-MS and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The donor-inherited redox active nature of the 'molecular dice' was studied using cyclic voltammetry.
