Key Points

The goal is to explore the synthesis and properties of heteroleptic coordination cages made from the Bis-Salphen Zn(II) unit.
Designed Bis-Salphen Zn(II) coordination units.
Investigated self-assembly processes to form heteroleptic cages.
Characterized the properties of synthesized coordination cages.
Successfully synthesized a range of heteroleptic coordination cages.
Demonstrated control over cavity properties and multifunctionality of the cages.
Revealed potential applications in material science and catalysis.

Implication

This research demonstrates the synthesis of versatile coordination cages with tailored properties, suggesting new applications.

Abstract

Heteroleptic coordination cages enable not only a high control over the cavity properties but also multifunctionality. However, their synthesis is far from trivial and often relies on precious 4d and...
