Steric control of sorting regimes in self-assembled cages

Control of self-sorting regimes is achieved through adjustment of steric interactions in self-assembled coordination cages. The self-assembly regime of dynamic mixtures of heteroleptic cages is followed by HPLC to show that statistical or biased distributions can be selectively obtained, including isolation of a single heteroleptic species.

Control of self-sorting regimes is achieved by adjusting steric interactions in self-assembled coordination cages. HPLC is used to track the self-assembly regime of dynamic mixtures of heteroleptic cages, demonstrating the ability to selectively obtain statistical or biased distributions, including isolation of a single heteroleptic species.
