Abstract

A discrete octahedral nano-cage has been synthesized by using a C3-symmetry semi-rigid pyridine-based ligand tppa. X-ray structure study reveals that the cage has a big inner cavity, flexible windows and all P[double bond, length as m-dash]O moieties of tppa ligands are inside positions. By anion exchange the 0D nano-cages can transform to infinite chain without noticeable loss of their crystallinity.
