Abstract
Two
original self-assembled containers constituted each by six
electroactive subunits are described. They are synthesized from a
concave tetratopic π-extended tetrathiafulvalene ligand bearing
four pyridyl units and <i>cis</i>-M(dppf)(OTf)<sub>2</sub> (M = Pd or Pt; dppf = 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene;
OTf = trifluoromethane-sulfonate) complexes. Both fully characterized
assemblies present an oblate spheroidal cavity that can incorporate
one perylene molecule
