Abstract

A unique example of incorporation of a tetrahalometalate anion in a small supramolecular cage is described in which a tetrahedral cage of type [Fe4L6](8+) selectively encapsulates a [FeIIICl4](-) anion over a [(FeCl4)-Cl-II](2-) anion in its central cavity to yield a discrete, mixed oxidation state, Fe(II)/Fe(III) supramolecular assembly. This unusual outcome has been achieved using two alternative synthetic strategies.
