Stepwise assembly of heterometallic, heteroleptic "triblock Janus-type" metal-organic polyhedra.

ABSTRACT: Increasing the chemical complexity of metal-organic cages (MOCs) or polyhedra (MOPs) demands control over the simultaneous organization of diverse organic linkers and metal ions into discrete caged structures. Herein, we show that a pre-assembled complex of the archetypical cuboctahedral MOP can be used as a template to replicate such caged structure, one having a "triblock Janus-type" configuration that is both heterometallic and heteroleptic.
