Abstract
The focus in the present mini-review is on the use of oligopyridines for the construction of tetrahedral M4L6 and M4L4 metallosupramolecular cages. These are typically synthesised by the reaction of C2-symmetric bis(bidentate) and C3-symmetric tris(bidentate) ligands with octahedral metal ions in the required stoichiometric ratio, resulting in the ligands occupying the edges (M4L6) or capping the faces (M4L4) of the respective tetrahedra. Where appropriate, host–guest binding and other properties of the cages are also presented.
