Abstract

A tetranuclear Ni(II)–macrocycle consisting of β-dipeptides demonstrates effects of water vapor on the structural switching of the nano-cavity by ligand exchange in the single-crystal state. The content of non-coordinating water molecules regulates the opening and closing of the cavity through cooperation of smooth ligand exchange and internal hydrogen-bond switching.
