Here we report a new supramolecular strategy for the selective separation of specific polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from mixtures. The use of a triethylene glycol-functionalized formylpyridine subcomponent allowed the construction of an Fe<sup>II</sup><sub>4</sub>L<sub>4</sub> tetrahedron <b>1</b> that was capable of transferring between water and nitromethane layers, driven by anion metathesis. Cage <b>1</b> selectively encapsulated coronene from among a mixture of eight different typ ...[more]
