A dynamic covalent approach was exploited to generate a family of homometallic [Pt n L 2 n ] 2 n + cage (predominantly [Pt 2 L 4 ] 4+ systems) architectures. The family of platinum(II) architectures were characterized using 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and the molecular structures of two cages were determined by X-ray crystallography.
