Host-guest chemistry is usually carried out in either water or organic solvents.T oi nvestigate the utility of alternative solvents,t hree different coordination cages were dissolved in neat ionic liquids.Byusing 19 FNMR spectroscopy to monitor the presence of free and bound guest molecules,all three cages were demonstrated to be stable and capable of encapsulating guests in ionic solution. Different cages were found to preferentially dissolve in different phases,allowing for the design of at riphasic sorting system. Within this system, three coordination cages,n amely Fe 4 L 6 2,F e 8 L 12 3,a nd Fe 4 L 4 4,e achs egregated into ad istinct layer.U pon the addition of amixture of three different guests,each cage (in each separate layer) selectively bound its preferred guest.
