Abstract:
Only one positional isomer is obtained from the assembly of 21 small components. A triangular molecular panel with five coordination sites is assembled upon complexation with [PdII (en)] (en=ethylenediamine) into a unique M15 L6 hexahedral coordination capsule (see X-ray structure). The capsule can encapsulate/exchange organic guests reversibly through the clefts at the nonbinding sites of the capsule.

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
