Abstract

Varying the length of phenanthrene-derived ligands switches the selective assembly of MIInLn metal-organic cages (MOCs, n = 6 or 8) between tetrahedral, square, or triangular architectures. The limit of this approach is explored for both Cu2 and Rh2 paddlewheel MOCs, and supported by solution, solid-state and computational analysis.
