Symmetric and asymmetric (Janus-type) new "lantern cage" siloxanes (PhSiO ) (Me SiO) (RSiO ) (R=Ph or iBu) were synthesized through reaction of all-cis-[PhSi(OSiMe Br)O] with all-cis-[RSi(OH)O] (R=Ph or iBu). These precursors were obtained by facile two or three-step reactions from commercially available compounds. The spectroscopic properties of the resulting products were fully characterized and they showed high thermal stability and sublimation without decomposition. The crystal structures clearly indicated that the internal vacancy volumes of the lantern cages are considerably larger than that of octaphenylsilsesquioxane (PhSiO ) . DFT calculations of the lantern cage showed a distinctly different electronic state from that of octasilsesquioxane. These results suggest that lantern cage siloxanes have a characteristic "field" in the molecule.

Control of Interlocking Mode in PdL Cage Catenanes.

Precise control over the catenation process in interlocked supramolecular systems remains a significant challenge. Here, we report a system in which a lantern-shaped PdL cage can dimerize to form two distinct PdL catenanes with different interlocking degree: a previously described quadruply interlocked double cage motif of D symmetry and an unprecedented triply interlocked structure of C symmetry. While the former structure features a linear arrangement of four Pd(II) centers, separated by three mechanically linked pockets, the new motif has a staggered shape.

Here, we report the facile synthesis of imidazole-linked porous organic cages (IPOCs) via an in situ cyclization reaction protocol. Specifically, three IPOCs with [2+4] lantern-like structures and one with a [3+6] triangular prism structure were successfully prepared through condensation reactions between tetraformyl-functionalized calix[4]arene and bis(o-phenylenediamine) monomers in a single pot. Notably, these IPOCs exhibit high porosity, with Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface areas reaching up to 1162 m g.

Current synthetic methods towards Pt(II) lantern-shaped cages involve the use of dry solvent, inert atmosphere, lengthy reaction times, and highly variable yields if isolated. Starting materials such as [Pt(CHCN)](BF) suffer from a poor shelf-life, reducing the synthetic accessibility of various Pt(II) architectures. A new Pt(II) source (with varied counterions), [Pt(3-ClPy)](X) (3-ClPy=3-chloropyridine, X=BF , OTf, NO ), is developed and characterised, showing greatly enhanced shelf-life characteristics under ambient atmospheric conditions.

Large self-assembled systems (such as metallosupramolecular rings and cages) can be difficult to structurally characterize, in particular when they show a highly dynamic behavior. In the gas-phase, Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS), in tandem with Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI MS), can yield valuable insights into the size, shape and dynamics of such supramolecular assemblies. However, the detailed relationship between experimental IMS data and the actual gas-phase structure is still poorly understood for soft and flexible self-assemblies.

Article Synopsis
- - Superphanes are unique organic molecules with two parallel benzene rings connected by six bridges, forming a cavity that can trap small molecules or ions depending on the length of the bridges.
- - The study used advanced molecular dynamics techniques to investigate the interactions between five different trapped molecules and the superphane's imino nitrogen side chains, highlighting how the strength of hydrogen bonds varies among the different molecules.
- - Results indicate that the trapped molecules have limited mobility and remain inside the superphane for extended periods due to the hydrophobic nature of the side chains, which create a barrier against escape.
