Allosteric Interactions in Coordination Cages
… regulation systems, a series of metal-organic cages capable of both the peripheral and internal encapsulation of guests are presented: octahedra capable of accommodating two guests in different locations simultaneously; cuboctahedral receptors that bind fullerenes with all-or-nothing positive …

Coordination Cages: Beyond The Solution State
Metal-organic coordination cages can be assembled from simple building blocks to form a wide range of structure types such as Platonic and Archimedean solids. Such architectures are able to encapsulate a diverse array of molecular guests in the solution state, from both organic and aqueous media. …

Non-Equilibrium Transport Across Liquid Membranes Using Coordination Cages
The host-guest chemistry of coordination cages underscores their utility in selectively extracting molecules, offering potential for chemical separation systems. However, the equilibrium constraint within bulk liquid membrane systems limits molecular transport efficiency to 50%, hindering …

Coordination Cages as a Scaffold for Permanently Porous Liquids
… separations. We present the first adaptation of coordination cages into porous liquids by functionalizing a series coordination cages of different sizes and structures with alkylimidazolium and PEG-imidazolium moieties. The alkylimidazolium-functionalized cages showed increased solubility in …

Biofunctionalised Coordination Cages and Quantified Speciation in Supramolecular Mixtures
Coordination cages formed by supramolecular self-assembly are excellent candidates for the selective encapsulation of molecules and sheltering these guests from their environment after uptake. The easily tuneable nature of these 3D-structures can make them versatile carriers in applications such as …

Coordination Cages for the Separation and Transportation of Molecular Cargo
… By illustrating the synthesis of several coordination cages reported in the literature, the principles underlying the construction of coordination cages by subcomponent self-assembly are elucidated. Ionic liquids are then proposed as solvents for cage systems; general methods for the …

Transport of Molecular Cargoes By Coordination Cages Between Immiscible Liquid Phases
… new modes of chemical purification and pumping. Coordination cages with inner cavities are able to encapsulate and release guest molecules based on their size and shape complementarity, providing a new technological basis to transport molecular cargoes. This thesis presents systems using …

Synthesis and single-molecule force spectroscopy of supramolecular capsules
… In the first part, large supramolecular coordination cages have been prepared by metal-directed self-assembly of functionalized cavitands. The synthesis of the hexameric coordination cage demonstrates, that functionalized cavitands can be used to obtain large metallosupramolecular …

Reversible Directed Phase Transfer of M4IIL4 and M4IIL6 Cages
… of supramolecular chemistry. Metallo-organic cages are an important breakthrough in the encapsulation and transport of small molecules, providing a crucial platform for the development of systems chemistry. Binding a network member within a tetrahedral cage allows it to be hidden and then …

Self-Assembly of Tetra-Anilines into Metal-Organic Architectures
The internal cavities of supramolecular capsules can be used to bind and sense guests, stabilize reactive molecules and catalyse chemical transformations. To improve the selectivity and scope of substrates for the aforementioned applications, design rules for capsules that extend beyond those of …

On the Structural Adaptability and Dynamics of Metal-Organic Cages
Metal-organic cages are molecular receptors that enable selective molecular recognition and catalysis, yet most current cage systems employ rigid building blocks that limit guest accommodation and environmental adaptability. Developing cages that combine structural integrity with conformational …
