posted on 2020-11-13, 14:09 authored by Jesus Ferrando-Soria, Antonio Fernandez-MatoAntonio Fernandez-Mato, Eufemio Moreno Pineda, Sarah A Varey, Ralph W Adams, Inigo J Vitorica-Yrezabal, Floriana Tuna, Grigore A Timco, Christopher A Muryn, Richard EP WinpennyHere we show an elegant and general route to the assembly of a giant {M12C24} cage from 12 palladium ions (M) and 24 heterometallic octanuclear coordination cages (C = {Cr7Ni-Py2}). The molecule is 8 nm in size, and the methods for its synthesis and characterization provide a basis for future developments at this scale.
