Abstract

Two neutral hexanuclear trigonal prismatic cage molecules have been synthesized by coupling two planar triangular M₃pz₃-panels, M = Cu(I) and Ag(I), in eclipsed geometry. The ∼230 Å³ cage volume can be either vacant or occupied by neutral guests. The crystal structures of the M₆–cyclohexane and Ag₆–S₈ host–guest species have been determined.
