The racemic ligands (±)-tris(isonicotinoyl)-cyclotriguaiacylene (L1), or (±)-tris(4-pyridyl-methyl)-cyclotriguaiacylene (L2) assemble with racemic (Λ,Δ)-[Ir(ppy)<sub>2</sub> (MeCN)<sub>2</sub> ]<sup>+</sup> , in which ppy=2-phenylpyridinato, to form [{Ir(ppy)<sub>2</sub> }<sub>3</sub> (L)<sub>2</sub> ]<sup>3+</sup> metallo-cryptophane cages. The crystal structure of [{Ir(ppy)<sub>2</sub> }<sub>3</sub> (L1)<sub>2</sub> ]⋅3BF<sub>4</sub> has MM-ΛΛΛ and PP-ΔΔΔ isomers, and homochiral self-sorting o ...[more]
