= 6%), while cage 2 is non-emissive. This emission quenching can be attributed to the electron-withdrawing nature of the triazine ligand, which dominates the electronic relaxation pathway of the Zn2L unit. Although both cages successfully bind aromatic guests in host-guest studies, their encapsulation results in partial cage decomposition, which prevents further investigation of whether cage 1 qualifies as an optical sensor material. However, the findings herein introduce a versatile route to emissive bis-salphen coordination cages, marking a significant step towards developing new heteroleptic zinc(II) cages for optical sensing.
