Abstract
For the first time, we have prepared non-aggregating phthalocyanine cobalt complexes as a set of resolved positional isomers. These compounds comprise a unique test bed for the structure-properties studies, as their optical and electrochemical properties are influenced by the planarity of the phthalocyanine macrocycle, which can be controlled by the positional isomerism of the bulky aromatic substituents at the α-phthalo sites. We support our conclusions with molecular modelling studies, which show a perfect match between the calculated and experimentally determined spectral/electrochemical values. We challenge a common perception that the NMR spectra of cobalt phthalocyanines cannot be measured due to the paramagnetic nature of Co(II). We suggest instead that the key factors affecting the NMR spectral resolution are molecular aggregation and π-π stacking. These interactions are suppressed by the bulky peripheral substituents on the cobalt phthalocyanines prepared, making these isomeric compounds an excellent tool for paramagnetic NMR studies.

Abstract
Spin-crossover (SCO) coordination cages are at the forefront of research for their potential in crafting next-generation molecular devices. However, due to the scarcity of SCO hosts and their own limited cavities, the interplay between the SCO host and the multiple guests binding has remained elusive. In this contribution, we present a family of pseudo-octahedral coordination cages (M6L4, M = ZnII, CoII, FeII, and NiII) assembled from a tritopic tridentate ligand L with metal ions. The utilization of FeII ion leads to the successful creation of the Fe6L4-type SCO cage. Host-guest studies of these M6L4 cages reveal their capacity to encapsulate four adamantine-based guests. Notably, the spin transition temperature T1/2 of Fe6L4 is dependent on the multiple guests encapsulated. The inclusion of adamantine yields an unprecedented T1/2 shift of 54 K, a record shift in guest-mediated SCO coordination cages to date. This drastic shift is ascribed to the synergistic effect of multiple guests coupled with their optimal fit within the host. Through a straightforward thermodynamic cycle, the binding affinities of the high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) states are separated from their apparent binding constant. This result indicates that the LS state has a stronger binding affinity for the multiple guests than the HS state. Exploring the SCO thermodynamics of host-guest complexes allows us to examine the optimal fit of multiple guests to the host cavity. This study reveals that the T1/2 of the SCO host can be manipulated by the encapsulation of multiple guests, and the SCO cage is an ideal candidate for determining the multiple guest fit.

Abstract
Despite having significant applications in the construction of controlled delivery systems with high anti-interference capability, to our knowledge dual-controlled molecular release has not yet been achieved based on small molecular/supramolecular entities. Herein, we report a dual-controlled release system based on coordination cages, for which releasing the guest from the cage demands synchronously altering the coordinative metal cations and the solvent. The cages, Hg5L2 and Ag5L2, are constructed via coordination-driven self-assembly of a corannulene-based ligand. While Hg5L2 shows a solvent-independent guest encapsulation in all the studied solvents, Ag5L2 is able to encapsulate the guests in only some of the solvents, such as acetone-d6, but will liberate the encapsulated guests in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane-d2. Hg5L2 and Ag5L2 are interconvertible. Thus, the release of guests from Hg5L2 in acetone-d6 can be achieved, but requires two separate operations, including metal substitutions and a change of the solvent. Dual-controlled systems as such could be useful in complicated molecular release process to avoid those undesired stimulus-responses.

Abstract
Confinement of discrete coordination cages within nanoporous lattices is an intriguing strategy to gain unusual properties and functions. We demonstrate here that the confinement of coordination cages within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) allows the spin state of the cages to be regulated through multilevel host-guest interactions. In particular, the confined in situ self-assembly of an anionic FeII4L6 nanocage within the mesoporous cationic framework of MIL-101 leads to the ionic MOF with an unusual hierarchical host-guest structure. While the nanocage in solution and in the solid state has been known to be invariantly diamagnetic with low-spin FeII, FeII4L6@MIL-101 exhibits spin-crossover (SCO) behavior in response to temperature and release/uptake of water guest within the MOF. The distinct color change concomitant with water-induced SCO enables the use of the material for highly selective colorimetric sensing of humidity. Moreover, the spin state and the SCO behavior can be modulated also by inclusion of a guest into the hydrophobic cavity of the confined cage. This is an essential demonstration of the phenomenon that the confinement within porous solids enables an SCO-inactive cage to show modulable SCO behaviors, opening perspectives for developing functional supramolecular materials through hierarchical host-guest structures.

Abstract
Taking inspiration from Nature, where (bio)molecular geometry variations are exploited to tune a large variety of functions, supramolecular chemistry has continuously developed novel systems in which, as a consequence of a specific stimulus, structural changes occur. Among the different architectures, supramolecular cages have been continuously investigated for their capability to act as functional hosts where guests can be released in a controlled fashion. In this paper, a novel methodology based on the use of phenanthrenequinone is applied to selectively change the binding properties of a tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine TPMA-based cage. In particular, subcomponent substitution has been used to change structural cage features thus controlling the inclusion ratio of competing guests differing in size or chirality.

Abstract
Self-assembly of a flexible tritopic aniline and 3-substituted 2-formylpyridine subcomponents around iron(II) templates gave rise to a low-spin FeII 4 L4 capsule, whereas a high-spin FeII 3 L2 sandwich species formed when a sterically hindered 6-methyl-2-formylpyridine was used. The FeII 4 L4 cage adopted a new structure type with S4 symmetry, having two mer-Δ and two mer-Ʌ metal vertices, as confirmed by NMR and X-ray crystallographic analysis. The flexibility of the face-capping ligand endows the resulting FeII 4 L4 framework with conformational plasticity, enabling it to adapt structurally from S4 to T or C3 symmetry upon guest binding. The cage also displayed negative allosteric cooperativity in simultaneously binding different guests within its cavity and at the apertures between its faces.

Abstract
The encapsulation of icosahedral closo-dicarbadodecaborane (o-, m-, and p-carboranes, Cb) as guest molecules at the intrinsic cavities of the three isostructural tetrahedral cages [{Pd3(NiPr)3PO}4(Cl-AN)6] (1), [{Pd3(NiPr)3PO}4(Br-AN)6] (2), and [{Pd3(NiPr)3PO}4(H-AN)6] (3) was studied. The formation of definite host-guest assemblies was probed with mass spectrometry, IR, and NMR spectral analysis. 2D DOSY 1H NMR of the Cb⊂Cage systems showed similar diffusion coefficient (D) values for the host and guest species, signifying the encapsulation of these guests inside the cage assemblies. The hydrodynamic radius (RH) derived from the D values of the host and guest species further confirmed the encapsulation of the Cb isomers at the cage pockets. The single-molecule energy optimization of the host-guest assemblies indicated the preferential binding of o-Cb as a guest inside the cages (1-3). The stabilization of these Cb guests inside these cages was further attributed to various possible nonclassical C-H···X-type interactions.

Abstract
A tetrahedral FeII4L4 cage assembled from the coordination of triangular chiral, face-capping ligands to iron(II). This cage exists as two diastereomers in solution, which differ in the stereochemistry of their metal vertices, but share the same point chirality of the ligand. The equilibrium between these cage diastereomers was subtly perturbed by guest binding. This perturbation from equilibrium correlated with the size and shape fit of the guest within the host; insight as to the interplay between stereochemistry and fit was provided by atomistic well-tempered metadynamics simulations. The understanding thus gained as to the stereochemical impact on guest binding enabled the design of a straightforward process for the resolution of the enantiomers of a racemic guest.

Abstract
Appending functional groups to the exterior of Zn4 L4 self-assembled cages allows gated control of anion binding. While the unfunctionalized cages contain aryl groups in the ligand that can freely rotate, attaching inert functional groups creates a "doorstop", preventing rotation and slowing the guest exchange rate, even though the interiors of the host cavities are identically structured. The effects on anion exchange are subtle and depend on multiple factors, including anion size, the nature of the leaving anion, and the electron-withdrawing ability and steric bulk of the pendant groups. Multiple exchange mechanisms occur, and the nature of the external groups controls associative and dissociative exchange processes: these bulky groups affect both anion egress and ingress, introducing an extra layer of selectivity to the exchange. Small changes can have large effects: affinities for anions as similar as PF6 - and SbF6 - can vary by as much as 400-fold between identically sized cavities.

Abstract
Stimuli-induced structural transformation of supramolecular cages has drawn increasing attention because of their sensitive feature to external variations as model systems to simulate biological processes. However, combining structural transformation and useful functions has remained a difficult task. This study reports the solvato-controlled self-assembly of two unique topologies with different emission characteristics, a water-soluble Ag8 L4 cage (A) and an Ag4 L2 cage (B), produced from the same sulfonate-pendant tetraphenylethene (TPE) bridged tetrakis-(1,2,4-triazolium) ligand. Both cages show interesting solvent-responsive reversible structural transformation, and the change of fluorescence signals can efficiently track the process. Additionally, water-soluble cage A exhibits unique properties in thermochromism, thiol amino acid sensing, and subcellular imaging in aqueous media.

Abstract
Four bis[2-{pyrazol-1-yl}-6-{pyrazol-3-yl}pyridine] ligands have been synthesized, with butane-1,4-diyl (L1 ), pyrid-2,6-diyl (L2 ), benzene-1,2-dimethylenyl (L3 ) and propane-1,3-diyl (L4 ) linkers between the tridentate metal-binding domains. L1 and L2 form [Fe2 (μ-L)2 ]X4 (X- =BF4 - or ClO4 - ) helicate complexes when treated with the appropriate iron(II) precursor. Solvate crystals of [Fe2 (μ-L1 )2 ][BF4 ]4 exhibit three different helicate conformations, which differ in the torsions of their butanediyl linker groups. The solvates exhibit gradual thermal spin-crossover, with examples of stepwise switching and partial spin-crossover to a low-temperature mixed-spin form. Salts of [Fe2 (μ-L2 )2 ]4+ are high-spin, which reflects their highly twisted iron coordination geometry. The composition and dynamics of assembly structures formed by iron(II) with L1 -L3 vary with the ligand linker group, by mass spectrometry and 1 H NMR spectroscopy. Gas-phase DFT calculations imply the butanediyl linker conformation in [Fe2 (μ-L1 )2 ]4+ influences its spin state properties, but show anomalies attributed to intramolecular electrostatic repulsion between the iron atoms.

Abstract
In biological systems, many biomacromolecules (e.g., heme proteins) are capable of switching their states reversibly in response to external stimuli, endowing these natural architectures with a high level of diversity and functionality. Although tremendous efforts have been made to advance the complexity of artificial supramolecules, it remains a challenge to construct metallo-supramolecular systems that can carry out reversible interconversion among multiple states. Here, a pH-responsive tridentate ligand, 2,6-di(1H-imidazole-2-yl)pyridine (H2DAP), is incorporated into the multitopic building block for precise construction of giant metallo-supramolecular hexagonal wreaths with three metal ions, i.e., Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II), through coordination-driven self-assembly. In particular, a Co-linked wreath enables in situ reversible interconversion among four states in response to pH and oxidant/reductant with highly efficient conversion without losing structural integrity. During the state interconversion cycles, the physical properties of the assembled constructs are finely tuned, including the charge states of the backbone, valency of metal ions, and paramagnetic/diamagnetic features of complexes. Such discrete wreath structures with a charge-switchable backbone further facilitate layer-by-layer assembly of metallo-supramolecules on the substrate.

Abstract
Supramolecular architectures, which are formed through the combination of inorganic metal cations and organic ligands by self-assembly, are one of the techniques in modern chemical science. This kind of multi-nuclear system in various dimensionalities can be implemented in various applications such as sensing, storage/cargo, display and molecular switching. Iron(II) mediated spin-crossover (SCO) supramolecular architectures with Schiff bases have attracted the attention of many investigators due to their structural novelty as well as their potential application possibilities. In this paper, we review a number of supramolecular SCO architectures of iron(II) with Schiff base ligands exhibiting varying geometrical possibilities. The structural and SCO behavior of these complexes are also discussed in detail.

Abstract
Reported here is the first FeII based supramolecular cage with pyridyl-hydrazone ligand scaffolds that exhibits temperature induced spin crossover behaviour. Density functional theory calculations were employed to investigate the cause of the occurrence of this phenomenon based on the ligand structure. These results indicate that the reported low-spin cages with pyridyl-imine sites could be reconsidered for spin crossover by carefully manipulating the functional groups in the ligand system.

Abstract
In situ metal-templated (hydrazone) condensation also called subcomponent self-assembly of 4,6-dihydrazino-pyrimidine, o-vanillin and dysprosium ions resulted in the formation of discrete hexa- or dodecanuclear metallosupramolecular Dy6(L)6 or Dy12(L)8 aggregates resulting from second-order template effects of the base and the lanthanide counterions used in these processes. XRD analysis revealed unique circular helical or tetragonal bipyramid architectures in which the bis(hydrazone) ligand L adopts different conformations and shows remarkable differences in its mode of metal coordination. While a molecule of trimethylamine acts as a secondary template that fills the void of the Dy6(L)6 assembly, sodium ions take on this role for the formation of heterobimetallic Dy12(L)8 by occupying vacant coordination sites, thus demonstrating that these processes can be steered in different directions upon subtle changes of reaction conditions. Furthermore, Dy6(L)6 shows an interesting spin-relaxation energy barrier of 435 K, which is amongst the largest values within multinuclear lanthanide single-molecular magnets.

Abstract
Self-assembled Fe4L6 cage complexes with variable internal functions can be synthesized from a 2,7-dibromocarbazole ligand scaffold, which orients six functional groups to the cage interior. Both ethylthiomethylether and ethyldimethylamino groups can be incorporated. The cages show strong ligand-centered fluorescence emission and a broad range of guest binding properties. Coencapsulation of neutral organic guests is favored in the larger, unfunctionalized cage cavity, whereas the thioether cage has a more sterically hindered cavity that favors 1 : 1 guest binding. Binding affinities up to 106 M-1 in CH3CN are seen. The dimethylamino cage is more complex, as the internal amines display partial protonation and can be deprotonated by amine bases. This amine cage displays affinity for a broad range of neutral organic substrates, with affinities and stoichiometries comparable to that of the similarly sized thioether cage. These species show that simple variations in ligand backbone allow variations in the number and type of functions that can be displayed towards the cavity of self-assembled hosts, which will have applications in biomimetic sensing, catalysis and molecular recognition.

Abstract
Highly crystalline Fe-COFs were constructed from the building blocks carrying pyridyl-aldehyde and triamine moieties in the presence of Fe(OTf)2 and acetic acid under ambient conditions via a subcomponent assembly strategy. The spectral results prove the coordination of atomically distributed Fe(II) ions with the nitrogen species of covalently formed iminopyridine linkages.

Abstract
The flexibility of biomolecules enables them to adapt and transform as a result of signals received from the external environment, expressing different functions in different contexts. In similar fashion, coordination cages can undergo stimuli-triggered transformations owing to the dynamic nature of the metal-ligand bonds that hold them together. Different types of stimuli can trigger dynamic reconfiguration of these metal-organic assemblies, to switch on or off desired functionalities. Such adaptable systems are of interest for applications in switchable catalysis, selective molecular recognition or as transformable materials. This review highlights recent advances in the transformation of cages using chemical stimuli, providing a catalogue of reported strategies to transform cages and thus allow the creation of new architectures. Firstly we focus on strategies for transformation through the introduction of new cage components, which trigger reconstitution of the initial set of components. Secondly we summarize conversions triggered by external stimuli such as guests, concentration, solvent or pH, highlighting the adaptation processes that coordination cages can undergo. Finally, systems capable of responding to multiple stimuli are described. Such systems constitute composite chemical networks with the potential for more complex behaviour. We aim to offer new perspectives on how to design transformation networks, in order to shed light on signal-driven transformation processes that lead to the preparation of new functional metal-organic architectures.

Abstract
Polynuclear heterobimetallic coordination cages in which different metal cations are connected within a ligand scaffold are known to adopt a variety of polyhedral architectures, many of which display interesting functions. Within the extensive array of coordination cages incorporating Fe(II) centres reported so far, the majority contain low-spin (LS) Fe(II), with high-spin (HS) Fe(II) being less common. Herein, we present the synthesis and characterisation of a new tetradecanuclear heterobimetallic [Fe8Pd6L8](BF4]28 (1) cubic cage utilising the metalloligand approach. Use of the tripodal tris-imidazolimine derivative (2) permitted the formation of the tripodal HS Fe(II) metalloligand [FeL](BF4)2·CH3OH (3) that was subsequently used to form the coordination cage 1. Magnetic and structural analyses gave insight into the manner in which the HS environment of the metalloligand was transferred into the cage architecture along with the structural changes that accompanied its occupancy of the eight corners of the discrete cubic structure.

Abstract
Although metallosupramolecular cages are self-assembled from seemingly simple building blocks, metal ions and organic ligands, architectures of increasingly large size and complexity are accessible and exploited in applications from catalysis to the stabilisation of reactive species. This Tutorial Review gives an introduction to the principles for designing metallosupramolecular cages and highlights advances in the design of large and lower symmetry cages. The characterisation and identification of cages relies on a number of complementary techniques with NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography and computational methods being the focus of this review. Finally, examples of cages are discussed where these design principles and characterisation techniques are put into practice for an application or function of the cage.

Abstract
A self-assembled FeII4 L6 cage was synthesized with 12 internal amines in the cavity. The cage forms as the dodeca-ammonium salt, despite the cage carrying an overall 8+ charge at the metal centers, extracting protons from displaced water in the reaction. Despite this, the basicity of the internal amines is lower than their counterparts in free solution. The 12 amines have a sliding scale of basicity, with a ≈6 pKa unit difference between the first and last protons to be removed. This moderation of side-chain basicity in an active site is a hallmark of enzymatic catalysis.

Abstract
This review describes the control of guest binding behavior of metal-containing host molecules that is driven by ligand exchange reactions at the metal centers. Recently, a vast number of metal-containing host molecules including metal-assisted self-assembled structures have been developed, and the structural transformation after construction of the host framework has now been of interest from the viewpoint of functional switching and tuning. Among the various kinds of chemical transformations, ligand exchange has a great advantage in the structural conversions of metal-containing hosts, because ligand exchange usually proceeds under mild conditions that do not affect the host framework. In this review, the structural transformations are classified into three types: (1) weak-link approach, (2) subcomponent substitution, and (3) post-metalation modification, according to the type of coordination motif. The control of their guest binding behavior by the structural transformations is discussed in detail.

Asymmetrical and dissymmetrical structures are widespread and play a critical role in nature and life systems. In the field of metallo-supramolecular assemblies, it is still in its infancy for constructing artificial architectures using dissymmetrical building blocks. Herein, we report the self-assembly of supramolecular systems based on two dissymmetrical double-layered ligands. With the aid of ultra-high-vacuum, low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV-LT-STM), we were able to investigate four isomeric structures corresponding to four types of binding modes of ligand LA with two major conformations complexes A. The distribution of isomers measured by STM and total binding energy of each isomer obtained by density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the most abundant isomer could be the most stable one with highest total binding energy. Finally, through shortening the linker between inner and outer layers and the length of arms, the arrangement of dissymmetrical ligand LB could be controlled within one binding mode corresponding to the single conformation for complexes B.

Abstract
The large paramagnetic shifts and short relaxation times resulting from the presence of a paramagnetic centre complicate NMR data acquisition and interpretation in solution. As a result, NMR analysis of paramagnetic complexes is limited in comparison to diamagnetic compounds and often relies on theoretical models. We report a toolbox of 1D (1H, proton-coupled 13C, selective 1H-decoupling 13C, steady-state NOE) and 2D (COSY, NOESY, HMQC) paramagnetic NMR methods that enables unprecedented structural characterisation and in some cases, provides more structural information than would be observable for a diamagnetic analogue. We demonstrate the toolbox's broad versatility for fields from coordination chemistry and spin-crossover complexes to supramolecular chemistry through the characterisation of CoII and high-spin FeII mononuclear complexes as well as a Co4L6 cage.

Abstract
Metal-directed self-assembly has been applied to prepare supramolecular coordination polygons which adopt tetrahedral (1) or trigonal disklike topologies (2). In the solid state, 2 assembles into a stable halide-metal-organic material (Hal-MOM-2), which catalyzes H2O oxidation under photo- and electrocatalytic conditions, operating with a maximum TON = 78 and TOF = 1.26 s-1. DFT calculations attribute the activity to a CoIII-oxyl species. This study provides the first account of how CoII imine based supramolecules can be employed as H2O oxidation catalysts.

Abstract
CO2 -responsive spin-state conversion between high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) states at room temperature was achieved in a monomeric cobalt(II) complex. A neutral cobalt(II) complex, [CoII (COO-terpy)2 ]⋅4 H2 O (1⋅4 H2 O), stably formed cavities generated via π-π stacking motifs and hydrogen bond networks, resulting in the accommodation of four water molecules. Crystalline 1⋅4 H2 O transformed to solvent-free 1 without loss of porosity by heating to 420 K. Compound 1 exhibited a selective CO2 adsorption via a gate-open type of the structural modification. Furthermore, the HS/LS transition temperature (T1/2 ) was able to be tuned by the CO2 pressure over a wide temperature range. Unlike 1 exhibits the HS state at 290 K, the CO2 -accomodated form 1⊃CO2 (P CO 2 =110 kPa) was stabilized in the LS state at 290 K, probably caused by a chemical pressure effect by CO2 accommodation, which provides reversible spin-state conversion by introducing/evacuating CO2 gas into/from 1.

Abstract
This Account describes our efforts over the last decade to synthesize self-assembled metal–ligand cage complexes that display reactive functional groups on their interiors. This journey has taken us down a variety of research avenues, including studying the mechanism of reversible self-assembly, analyzing ligand self-sorting properties, post-assembly reactivity, molecular recognition, and binding studies, and finally reactivity and catalysis. Each of these individual topics are discussed here, as are the lessons learned along the way and the future research outlook. These self-assembled hosts are the closest mimics of enzymes to date, as they are capable of size- and shape-selective molecular recognition, substrate activation and turnover, as well as showing less common ‘biomimetic’ properties such as the ability to employ cofactors in reactivity, and alter the prevailing mechanism of the catalyzed reactions.1 Introduction2 Paddlewheels and Self-Sorting Behavior3 First-Row Transition-Metal-Mediated Assembly: Sorting and Stereochemical Control4 Post-Assembly Reactivity5 Molecular Recognition and Catalysis6 Conclusions and Outlook

Abstract
A boronic ester cage, which exhibits stimuli-responsive guest-release behavior, was constructed by self-assembly of tetrol with the indacene backbone and a fluorine-substituted benzenetriboronic acid derivative. The presence of fluorine substituents made it possible to control the guest release rate using simple amines by forming tetrahedral borates.

Abstract
Transformations between three-dimensional metallosupramolecular assemblies can enable switching between the different functions of these structures. Here we report a network of such transformations, based upon a subcomponent displacement strategy. The flow through this network is directed by the relative reactivities of different amines, aldehydes, and di(2-pyridyl)ketone. The network provides access to an unprecedented heteroleptic Cd6L6L'2 twisted trigonal prism. The principles underpinning this network thus allow for the design of diverse structural transformations, converting one helicate into another, a helicate into a tetrahedron, a tetrahedron into a different tetrahedron, and a tetrahedron into the new trigonal prismatic structure type. The selective conversion from one host to another also enabled the uptake of a desired guest from a mixture of guests.

Abstract
Two new heterobimetallic cages, a trigonal‐bipyramidal and a cubic one, were assembled from the same mononuclear metalloligand by adopting the molecular library approach, using iron(II) and palladium(II) building blocks. The ligand system was designed to readily assemble through subcomponent self‐assembly. It allowed the introduction of steric strain at the iron(II) centres, which stabilizes its paramagnetic high‐spin state. This steric strain was utilized to drive dynamic complex‐to‐complex transformations with both the metalloligand and heterobimetallic cages. Addition of sterically less crowded subcomponents as a chemical stimulus transformed all complexes to their previously reported low‐spin analogues. The metalloligand and bipyramid incorporated the new building block more readily than the cubic cage, probably because the geometric structure of the sterically crowded metalloligand favours the cube formation. Furthermore it was possible to provoke structural transformations upon addition of more favourable chelating ligands, converting the cubic structures into bipyramidal ones.

Abstract
![]()
We report the preparation of triazatruxene-faced
tetrahedral cage 1, which exhibits two diastereomeric
configurations (T1 and T2) that differ in
the handedness of the
ligand faces relative to that of the octahedrally coordinated metal
centers. At lower temperatures, T1 is favored, whereas T2 predominates at higher temperatures. Host–guest
studies show that T1 binds small aliphatic guests, whereas T2 binds larger aromatic molecules, with these changes in
binding preference resulting from differences in cavity size and degree
of enclosure. Thus, by a change in temperature the cage system can
be triggered to eject one bound guest and take up another.

Abstract
The pyridazine-pyridine triazole-based Rat ligand, Lpydzpy [4-(4-methylphenyl)-3-(3-pyridazinyl)-5-(2-pyridinyl)-1,2,4-triazole], is potentially ditopic. Nevertheless, Lpydzpy is shown herein to exclusively form mononuclear iron(II) complexes, [FeII(Lpydzpy)2(NCE)2]·solvent, in the presence of coordinating NCE anions (E = S or Se). Specifically, a new family of 10 mononuclear complexes, in which Lpydzpy binds in a monotopic bidentate manner, has been made: two solvent-free complexes, [FeII(Lpydzpy)2(NCS)2] (1) and [FeII(Lpydzpy)2(NCSe)2] (2); six solvatomorphs, 1·4CH3CN, 2·4CH3CN, 1·2.25CH3CN, 2·3CH3CN, 2·tetrahydrofuran, and 2·CHCl3; and a pair of desolvated polymorphs, 1' and 2'. Seven of them are spin crossover-active, the exceptions being 1, 2, and 2'. This is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) for 1, 2, 1·4CH3CN, and 2·4CH3CN and is consistent with variable-temperature optical microscopy observations on single crystals of 1·4CH3CN and 2·4CH3CN and on samples of 1' and 2'. Powder XRD, thermogravimetric analysis, and solid-state magnetometry reveal that desolvated 1' and 2' are capable of absorbing and desorbing a range of volatile guests: CH3CN in both cases and also tetrahydrofuran and CHCl3 in the case of 2'.

Abstract
![]()
We investigate the self-assembly
dynamics of an imine-based pentafoil
knot and related pentameric circular helicates, each derived from
a common bis(formylpyridine)bipyridyl building block, iron(II) chloride,
and either monoamines or a diamine. The mixing of circular helicates
derived from different amines led to the complete exchange of the N-alkyl residues on the periphery of the metallo-supramolecular
scaffolds over 4 days in DMSO at 60 °C. Under similar conditions,
deuterium-labeled and nonlabeled building blocks showed full dialdehyde
building block exchange over 13 days for open circular helicates but
was much slower for the analogous closed-loop pentafoil knot (>60
days). Although both knots and open circular helicates self-assemble
under thermodynamic control given sufficiently long reaction times,
this is significantly longer than the time taken to afford the maximum
product yield (2 days). Highly effective error correction occurs during
the synthesis of imine-based pentafoil molecular knots and pentameric
circular helicates despite, in practice, the systems not operating
under full thermodynamic control.

Abstract
Two differently protected aldehydes, A and B, were demonstrated to deprotect selectively through the application of light and heat, respectively. In the presence of iron(II) and a triamine, two distinct FeII4L4 cages, 1 and 2, were thus observed to form from the deprotected A and B, respectively. The alkyl tails of B and 2 render them preferentially soluble in cyclopentane, whereas A and 1 remain in acetonitrile. The stimulus applied (either light or heat) thus determines the outcome of self-assembly and dictates whether the cage and its ferrocene cargo remain in acetonitrile, or transport into cyclopentane. Cage self-assembly and cargo transport between phases can in this fashion be programmed using orthogonal stimuli.

Abstract
Coordination-driven self-assembly can produce large, symmetrical, hollow cages that are synthetically easy to access. The functions provided by these aesthetically attractive structures provide a driving force for their development, enabling practical applications. For instance, cages have provided new methods of molecular recognition, chirality sensing, separations, stabilization of reactive species, and catalysis. We have fruitfully employed subcomponent self-assembly to prepare metal-organic capsules from simple building blocks via the simultaneous formation of dynamic coordinative (N→metal) and covalent (N═C) bonds. Design strategies employ multidentate pyridyl-imine ligands to define either the edges or the faces of polyhedral structures. Octahedral metal ions, such as FeII, CoII, NiII, ZnII, and CdII, constitute the vertices. The generality of this technique has enabled the preparation of capsules with diverse three-dimensional structures. This Account highlights how fundamental investigations into the host-guest chemistry of capsules prepared through subcomponent self-assembly have led to the design of useful functions and new applications. We start by discussing simple host-guest systems involving a single capsule and continue to systems that include multiple capsules and guests, whose interactions give rise to complex functional behavior. Many of the capsules presented herein bind varied neutral guests, including aromatic or aliphatic molecules, biomolecules, and fullerenes. Binding selectivity is influenced by solvent effects, weak non-covalent interactions between hosts and guests, and the size, shape, flexibility, and degree of surface enclosure of the inner spaces of the capsules. Some hosts are able to adaptively rearrange structurally or express a different ratio of cage diastereomers to optimize the guest binding ability of the system. In other cases the bound guest can be either protected from degradation or catalytically transformed through encapsulation. Other capsules bind anions, most often in organic solvents and occasionally in water. Complexation is usually driven by a combination of electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and coordination to additional metal centers. Anion binding can also induce cage diastereomeric reconfiguration in a similar manner to some neutral guests, illustrating the general ability of subcomponent self-assembled capsules to respond to stimuli due to their dynamic nature. Capsules have been developed as supramolecular extractants for the selective removal of anions from water and as channels for transporting anions through planar lipid bilayers and into vesicles. Different capsules may work together, allowing for functions more complex than those achievable within single host-guest systems. Incorporation of stimuli-responsive capsules into multicage systems allows individual capsules within the network to be addressed and may allow signals to be passed between network members. We first present strategies to achieve selective guest binding and controlled guest release using mixtures of capsules with varied affinities for guests and different stabilities toward external stimuli. We then discuss strategies to separate capsules with encapsulated cargos via selective phase transfer, where the solvent affinities of capsules change as a result of anion exchange or post-assembly modification. The knowledge gained from these multicage systems may lead to the design of synthetic systems that can perform complex tasks in biomimetic fashion, paving the way for new supramolecular technologies to address practical problems.
