An open hollow polyoxovanadate cage based on {Nb(V<sub>5</sub>)} pentagons with size-selective encapsulation properties
An open hollow polyoxovanadate (POV) cage, V14Nb2P8, has been successfully constructed using {Nb(V<sub>5</sub>)} pentagons as building blocks. The POV cage features a crown-ether-like {V<sub>4</sub>P<sub>4</sub>O<sub>8</sub>} opening that can selectively coordinate with Cs<sup>+</sup> ions. Additionally, it has a hollow cavity that acts as a molecular container to accommodate size-appropriate organic molecules.
