Stepwise construction of discrete heterometallic coordination cages based on self-sorting strategy.

A chelation-directed self-sorting synthesis of a series of cationic heterometallic coordination cages (HCCs) with tunable sizes is described. Two complexation modes were found in the cage-forming process. Metal-anchoring host-guest behavior and size-selective in-cage catalytic activities were found for the HCCs.
