Metal-Ligand Nano-Cages
This self-assembling structure has an interior cavity about 32 Å in diameter. It consists of 24 palladium ions, each of which is coordinated by 4 nitrogens, which are part of 48 dipyridylthiophene molecules. Such synthetic nano-spheres can be functionalized to create synthetic receptors and nanoreactors. Potential applications in sensing, catalysis, and drug delivery are being explored. |
