Metallosupramolecular cages of the general formulas [M₂(L)₄][X]₄ can be self-assembled in good yields, where M = Pd, X = NO₃, L = L¹ (1a); M = Pd, X = OTf, L = L¹ (1b); M = Pt, X = OTf, L = L¹ (2); M = Pd, X = OTf, L = L² (3); L¹ = 1,3-bis(pyridin-3-ylethynyl)-5-methoxybenzene; and L² = 2,6-(pyridin-3-ylethynyl)- 4-methoxyaniline, respectively. These cages have been fully characterized using ¹H...
