Abstract

A family of polyhedral metal-imidazolate cages based on the flexible bi-imidazole ligand L and Cu²⁺ ions have been synthesized and characterized, featuring an unusual Cu₁₀L₈ bicapped square antiprism structure (or Johnson solids, J₁₇) with an adaptable cavity. These metal–organic cages encapsulate anions, and they will expand or compress after they are filled with different-sized anions.
