Complexation reactions of palladium(II) nitrate with a set of 3-pyridyl appended nonchelating bidentate ligands possessing regioisomeric phenylene-diurea functionalities as spacers were carried out. The ligands utilized in this study are 1,1'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(3-(pyridin-3-yl)urea), L1; 1,1'-(1,3-phenylene)bis(3-(pyridin-3-yl)urea), L2; and 1,1'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(3-(pyridin-3yl)urea), L3. The complexation reactions of the ligands (L1, L2, and L3) with palladium(II) produced single discrete isomeric cages (1, 2, and 3) of Pd2L4 formulation in each case and thereby illustrated ligand-isomerism in coordination cages. All 16 hydrogen atoms of eight urea moieties present in four ligand strands are delineated completely endohedrally in cage 1 and completely exohedrally in cage 3, whereas cage 2 exhibited half of the urea hydrogens in exohedral locations and the remaining half in endohedral locations. In addition to the variable number of solvent molecules, the cavities of cages 1 and 2 lodged four and two nitrate ions, respectively, using the endohedral (H)(urea) atoms (i.e., NH groups) as binding sites, whereas the cavity of 3 remained anion free. The abilities of the complexes 1-3 for adsorption of CO2 gas are demonstrated, and their behaviors are compared.
