Chromophoric coordination cages
interest. In the first project of this thesis, I present an azulene-based Pd2L4 lantern-shaped cage that transforms into a Pd4L8 tetrahedral complex upon addition of benzene disulfonate guests. This geometrical [...] imparted by the five-membered rings. In addition, the thieno[3,4b]pyrazine-based ligands were observed to be highly luminescent, and the resulting Pd2L4 cages were as well. This is an interesting result, as the [...] formation of the Pd(II)-cage ultimately resulted in the formation of a single meso-trans isomer of the Pd2L4 cage in acetonitrile and DMSO, instead of a statistical mixture. X-ray structure analysis of the cage …
