How to not build a cage: endohedral functionalization of polyoxometalate-based metal-organic polyhedra.

ABSTRACT: Introducing functionalities into the interior of metal-organic cage complexes can confer properties and utilities (e.g. catalysis, separation, drug delivery, and guest recognition) that are distinct from those of unfunctionalized cages. Endohedral functionalization of such cage molecules, for decades, has largely relied on modifying their organic linkers to covalently append targeted functional groups to the interior surface. We herein introduce an effective coordination method to bring in functionalities at the metal sites instead, for a set of polyhedral cages where the nodes are in situ formed polyoxovanadate clusters, [V^IV ₆O₆(OCH₃)₉(μ₆-SO₄)(COO)₃]^2-.
