Popis: Trigonal bipyramidal metallo-cage species [Pd₃(dppp)₃(L)₂]∙6OTf (where dppp = bis(diphenylphosphino)propane, OTf = triflate and L is tris(iso-nicotinoyl)cyclotriguaiacylene (L1) or tris(fluoro-iso-nicotinoyl)cyclotriguaiacylene (FL1)) have been characterised in solution to exist predominantly as the anti-isomers. The crystal structure of [Pd₃(dppp)₃(FL1)₂]∙6OTf, however, was found to be the achiral syn-isomer. The complex [Pd₃Cl₃(L2)₂] (where L2 = tris(methylbenzimidazolyl)cyclotriguaiacylene) is a trans-linked M₃L₂ cage, observed by mass spectrometry and in the solid state as the anti-isomer. Ligand L2 also forms a 1:1 co-crystal with cyclotriguaiacylene.
