Abstract

-isomers (up to 76%) was achieved simply through minor structural changes (swapping a hydrogen atom for a fluorine) or changing the location of heterocycles within the cage structure between the different ligand scaffolds. Furthermore, the selective (up to ∼62%) assembly of particular isomers of heteroleptic cages formed from two low-symmetry ligand scaffolds was demonstrated and rationalised.
