Modulating the guest binding ability within mixed-coordination geometry [Pd(μ-L)4RuCl2]2+ and [Pd(μ-L)4Pt]4+ cage architectures†
Abstract
Heterobimetallic cages built from Pd and either octahedral Ru or square-planar Pt moieties and bridged by ligands with H bonding-accepting or -donating properties are reported. They showed stimulus-responsive dis- and reassembly, while guest binding was found to be dependent on the complementary properties of the guest to the host in terms of charge, size and H bonding properties.
