Synthetic self-assembly is a powerful technique for the bottom-up construction of discrete and well-defined polyhedral nanostructures resembling the spherical shape of large biological systems. In recent years, numerous Archimedean-shaped coordination cages have been reported based on the assembly of bent monodentate organic ligands containing two or more distal pyridyl rings and square-planar Pd<sup>II</sup> ions. The formation of photoactive Pd<sup>II</sup> metallamacrocycles and cages, howeve ...[more]
