Scaffolding a cage-like 3D framework by coordination and constitutional dynamic chemistry

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ol201440a

By exploiting the supramolecular assistance of a sterically encumbered phenanthroline-Cu⁺ motif, we report on the self-assembly of a trigonal nanoprism, its post-self-assembly functionalization, and transformation into a cage-like 3D framework
