Pd2L4 Metal-Organic Cages with Perfluoroalkyl Edges: Ligand Design and Synthesis

Molecular cages are versatile supramolecular architectures with applications in guest encapsulation, catalysis, and sensing. This study reports the first Pd2L4 cage where vertices are bridged by-(CF2)n-chains. Cage synthesis is achieved by the self-assembly of a ligand comprising a perfluorinated al...
