Abstract

Herein, the synthesis of metal–organic tetrahedral cages featuring flexible thio- and selenophosphate-based ligands is described. The cages were prepared by sub-component self-assembly of A [double bond, length as m-dash] P(OC₆H₄NH₂-4)₃ (A = S, Se) or SP(SC₆H₄NH₂-4)₃, 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde, and either Fe[BF₄]₂ or Co[BF₄]₂. Preliminary host–guest studies into the ability of the pendant PS and PSe groups to interact with suitable substrates will be discussed.
