Synthesis, crystal structure, and gas sorption studies of two neutral octahedral {MII24}-cages built from sulfonylthiacalix[4]arene tetranuclear clusters and triazine linkers

Two isostructural nanosized coordination cages of formula [MII4SO2TCA(μ4-OH2)]6TATB8•nS (M = Co or Ni, TATB= 4,4′,4″-s-triazine-2,4,6-triyl-tribenzoate trisanion, S are solvent molecules) were obtained following a three-components strategy by using H3TATB (4,4′,4″-s-triazine-2,4,6-triyl-tribenzoic...
