Metal–Organic Hendecahedra Assembled from Dinuclear Paddlewheel Nodes and Mixtures of Ditopic Linkers with 120 and 90° Bend Angles

Don't be square: The title cages were synthesized by cooperative assembly of four-connected units and mixtures of two bridging dicarboxylate ligands (see picture). This work may open a new synthetic path towards complex coordination polyhedra that are inaccessible through reported synthetic procedures.
