Description
Kenta Iizuka, Hiroki Takezawa, and Makoto Fujita build a bigger molecular cage from the parts of a small one in a 2024 chemistry paper. The known small cage traps single small molecules well. Its cavity is too tight for medium-sized guests. A ring-shaped template guides assembly toward the larger form.
Nine metal corners and six ligands form the expanded cage. Its inner volume more than triples the small cage's space. Guest recognition stays sharp in the enlarged host. Molecules up to a hefty size class now fit inside. Solid-state steps assist the assembly route they report. The design shows cages can scale by template choice.
