A tetrahedron from homooxacalix[3]arene, the fifth Platonic polyhedron from calixarenes and uranyl
A self-assembled tetrahedral cage results from two C3-symmetry building blocks, namely, homooxacalix[3]arene tricarboxylate and uranyl cation, as demonstrated by X-ray crystallography. In the cage, four metals coordinate at the lower rim with the phenolic and ether oxygen atoms to shape the macrocyc...
