Tetrahedral metal-organic cages with cube-like cavities for selective encapsulation of fullerene guests and their spin-crossover properties

Tetrahedral Fe II 4 L 6 coordination cages containing organic linkers with rigid π-electron aromatic rings and flexible alkyl units were constructed. Interestingly, these tetrahedral cages have rare cube-like cavities for selective encapsulation of fullerene guests. In addition, the solid state spin...

Description
Summary:Tetrahedral Fe II 4 L 6 coordination cages containing organic linkers with rigid π-electron aromatic rings and flexible alkyl units were constructed. Interestingly, these tetrahedral cages have rare cube-like cavities for selective encapsulation of fullerene guests. In addition, the solid state spin-crossover properties were influenced by guest binding of fullerene C 60 . Selective encapsulation of fullerene guests and solid state spin-crossover behaviors were observed in iron( ii ) tetrahedral metal-organic cages with cube-like cavities.
