Self-assembled nanoscale capsules between resorcin[4]arene derivatives and Pd(ii) or Pt(ii) complexes
Abstract
Nanoscale molecular capsules have been prepared by self-assembly of resorcin[4]arene derivatives and Pd(II) or Pt(II) complexes; the positively charged N-alkylpyridinium derivatives are encapsulated inside capsules due to strong cation–π interactions.
