In this work we compare and contrast the hydrolysis of two different aromatic esters using an octanuclear cubic Co8 coordination cage host as the catalyst. Diacetyl fluorescein (DAF) is too...

A Co12 coordination cage with a cuboctahedral architecture, and incorporating a mixture of tritopic (face-capping) and ditopic (edge-bridging) ligands, shows strong guest binding of large aromatic fluorophores (fluorescein and its...

Binding of a set of three isomeric guests (1,2-, 1,3- and 1,4-dicyanobenzene, abbreviated DCB) inside an octanuclear cubic coordination cage host H (bearing different external substitutents according to solvent used)...
