Synthesis of 1,3,5-tris(4′-bromobutyl)benzene has been achieved by means of two step reaction. This compound reacts with ethyl diphenylphosphonic ester to form phosphoryl oxide which transformed to tertiary phosphine ligand. Employing the high dilution method from the ligand and Cl₂Pt(NCPh)₂ a cage compound is formed.
