A complex host-guest equilibrium employing metal ions incorporated into both the host and guest is discussed. M<sup>II</sup>X<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup> metallate guests are shown to provide a good size and shape match for encapsulation within the M<sub>4</sub>L<sub>6</sub> tetrahedral capsules, facilitating the generation of previously unreported Zn<sub>4</sub>L<sub>6</sub> complexes. Displacement of the initial, primary template anion (ZnBr<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup>) by a secondary template anion ...[more]
