Supramolecular assemblies based on Fe8L12 cubic metal–organic cages: synergistic adsorption and spin-crossover properties†
Abstract
Two FeII8L12 cubic metal–organic cages were constructed with semi-rigid ligands and they further self-assembled into supramolecular assemblies with three different porous cavities. The supramolecular assemblies showed synergistic adsorption of I2 and TTF, and their solid state spin-crossover behaviors were influenced by the adsorbed guest molecules.
