Abstract
Self-assembly of CuX2 (X- = BF4-, ClO4-, and CF3SO3-) with a new tridentate 5,5',5″-(((2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triyl)tris(methylene))tris(oxy))triisoquinoline (L) gives rise to single-crystal pairs consisting of small and large cages, [X@Cu2X2L4]X and [Cu6X12L8], respectively, via selection of solvents. In particular, the large cage is transformed into a small cage in acetonitrile above 50 °C. A significant difference in heterogeneous catechol oxidation catalysis between the small and large cages is observed. Such notable catechol-oxidation-catalytic effects can be explained by maintenance of the Cu···Cu distance at the catalytic center. This research is a direct systematic example of both cage-size control via solvent selection and the significance of the Cu···Cu distance in catechol oxidation catalysis with copper (Cu).

Abstract
Self-assembly of M(ClO4)2 (M(II) = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II)) with dicyclopentyldi(pyridine-3-yl)silane (L) as a donor in a mixture of acetonitrile and toluene produces crystals consisting of M6L12 double-stranded macrocycles. The geometry around the M(II) cations is a typical octahedral arrangement, but the metallamacrocycles' outer axial coordination environment is sensitive to the M(II) cations. The conformation of the unique metallamacrocycles is informatively dependent on the nature of the coordination around the M(II) cations via subtle co-ligand competition among perchlorate anions, water, and acetonitrile. Both the coordinated acetonitriles and the solvate molecules of the crystals are removed at 170 °C, thereby transforming the crystals into new crystals that return to their original form in the mixture of toluene and acetonitrile. Catalytic oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol using [Cu6(ClO4)8(CH3CN)4L12]4ClO4·5C7H8 is much faster than those using the transformed product, [Cu(ClO4)2L2], and a simple mixture of Cu(ClO4)2 + L.

Abstract
The self-assembly of NiCl2 with a chiral bidentate ligand pair, (1R,2S)-(+)- and (1S,2R)-(-)-1-(nicotinamido)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl nicotinate (r,s-L and s,r-L) in a mixture of ethanol and dioxane, gives rise to stable crystals consisting of [2Cl@Ni2Cl2(s,r-L)4(H2O)2]·4C4H8O2·EtOH and [2Cl@Ni2Cl2(r,s-L)4(H2O)2]·4C4H8O2·EtOH chiral cages, respectively, with two encapsulated chloride anions in the cavities. The most interesting feature is that the self-assembly of NiCl2 with the mixture of r,s-L and s,r-L (1 : 1-1 : 4) produces crystals of thermodynamically stable achiral cages, [2Cl·2H2O@Ni2Cl2(s,r-L)2(r,s-L)2(H2O)2]·7C4H8O2, in the molar ratio range. Furthermore, the [2Cl@Ni2Cl2(s,r-L)4(H2O)2]·4C4H8O2·EtOH and [2Cl@Ni2Cl2(r,s-L)4(H2O)2]·4C4H8O2·EtOH chiral crystals can recognize the pairs of L-,D-tryptophan and L-,D-cysteine via cyclic voltammetry (CV) signals, in contrast to the [2Cl·2H2O@Ni2Cl2(s,r-L)2(r,s-L)2(H2O)2]·7C4H8O2 achiral crystal.

Abstract
Self-assembly of CuX2 (X- = BF4-, PF6-, and SbF6-) with a pair of chiral bidentate ligands, (1R,2S)-(+)- and (1S,2R)-(-)-1-(nicotinamido)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl-nicotinate (r,s-L or s,r-L), in a mixture solvent including ethanol in a glass vessel gives rise to SiF62--encapsulated Cu2L4 chiral cage products. The SiF62- anion from the reaction of X- with SiO2 of the glass-vessel surface acts as a cage template or cage bridge. One of the products, [SiF6@Cu2(SiF6)(s,r-L)4]·3CHCl3·4EtOH, is one of the most effective heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol. Furthermore, an l-DOPA/d-DOPA pair is recognizable by the cyclic voltammetry (CV) signals of its combination with chiral cages [SiF6@Cu2(BF4)2(s,r- or r,s-L)4]·4CHCl3·2EtOH pair and [SiF6@Cu2(SiF6)(s,r- or r,s-L)4]·3CHCl3·4EtOH pair.

Abstract
Formation of the unexpected hexafluorosilicate (SiF62−) anion during crystallization via self-assembly in glassware is scrutinized. Self-assembly of M(BF4)2 (M2+ = Cu2+ and Zn2+) with tridentate N-donors (L) in a mixture solvent including methanol in a glass vessel gives rise to an SiF62−-encapsulated Cu3L4 double-decker cage and a Zn2L4 cage, respectively. Induced reaction of CuX2 (X− = PF6− and SbF6−) instead of Cu(BF4)2, with the tridentate ligands, produces the same species. The formation time of SiF62− is in the order of anions BF4− < PF6− < SbF6− under the given reaction conditions. The SiF62− anion, acting as a cage template or cage-to-cage bridge, seems to be formed from the reaction of polyatomic anions containing fluoride with the SiO2 of the surface of the glass vessel. Formation of the unexpected hexafluorosilicate (SiF62−) encapsulated cages constructed. Interestingly, this shows that the surface of glassware should be given serious consideration for long-duration reactions with active F-containing species.![]()
