A family of nanoscale-sized supramolecular cage compounds with a
polyhedral framework is prepared by self-assembly from tritopic building blocks and rectangular corner units via noncovalent
coordination interactions. These highly symmetrical cage compounds are
described as face-directed, self-assembled truncated tetrahedra with
Td symmetry.
