Popis: Three-dimensional molecular architectures self-assembled with tripodal and tetratopic donors are valuable because of their encapsulation properties. Here, we present Co(I)–Fe(II)–Pd(II) heterotrimetallic trifacial barrel 1, which was self-assembled using a newly synthesized tetratopic donor [CpCo(CbR4)] [L; Cp = cyclopentadienyl, Cb = cyclobudiene, and R = 4-(4-pyridylphenyl)] and a 90° acceptor [cis-(dppf)Pd(OTf)2] (A1; dppf = (diphenylphosphino)ferrocene and OTf = CF3SO3–). The heterotrimetallic barrel 1 exhibited selective 1:1 interaction with a N,N′-dimethyl-1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide guest, as revealed by 1H NMR analysis. The self-assembly of donor L with two other Ru(II)-based 180° acceptors [(p-cymene)2Ru2(OO∩OO)(OTf)2] [OO∩OO = 6,11-dioxido-5,12-naphthacenedione (A2) and oxalate (A3)] resulted in tetragonal-prismatic cages. Self-assembly using the longer acceptor A2 provided rare isomers of a tetragonal-prismatic cage by varying the orientation of the cyclopentadienyl moiety out–ou...
