Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) are widely employed for remote controlled molecular release applications using alternating magnetic fields (AMF). Yet, they intrinsically generate heat in the process by Néel relaxation limiting their application scope. In contrast, iron oxide NPs larger than ≈15 nm react to AMF by Brownian relaxation resulting in tumbling and shaking.

We report the formation of metal-organic cage-crosslinked polymer hydrogels. To enable crosslinking of the cages and subsequent network formation, we used homodifunctionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains terminally substituted with bipyridines as ligands for the Pd L corners. The encapsulation of guest molecules into supramolecular self-assembled metal-organic cage-crosslinked hydrogels, as well as ultrasound-induced disassembly of the cages with release of their cargo, is presented in addition to their characterization by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, rheology, and comprehensive small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments.
