During the last decade, significant progress has been made in the rational design of functional metallasupramolecular architectures with triangles, squares, and other polygons as basic units and, furthermore, the construction of threedimensional cages and polyhedra. Owing to their capability of encapsulating guest moieties within cavities of different sizes and shapes, metallasupramolecules have demonstrated great potential in the applications of separation processes, catalysis, selective recognition, and sensor technologies.[1] Among the reported host–guest systems, the metallacycles exhibit high shape and size selectivity.[2] Metal–organic frameworks also belong to this class of materials and, even though they are normally highly rigid, they retain their structures upon various stresses, such as temperature changes, chemical reactions, guest exchanges, or other physical stimuli.[3] Related studies for packing molecular cyclic arrangements to form cavities and pores are quite rare.[4] The design and synthesis of such host frameworks that can interact with certain guest molecules have implications for the generation of advanced materials, because they have many characteristic features, including the confinement of guest molecules in the cavity with a deep, van der Waals-type, potential energy well. The high selectivity recognition, accommodation, and separation of the target molecules depends on the relationship between the size of the cavity and the molecular dimensions of the guest molecules.[5] However, the monomer host frameworks can be used to build up higher dimensional structures by supramolecular interactions, such as π–π stacking interactions, CÀH··· π interactions, and CÀH··· X (X= F, Cl, Br, I) interactions.[5g, 6]Planar molecular rectangles with metal centers at the corners and two pairs of differing opposite ligand “edges” can be assembled from a binuclear complex possessing a tightly binding rigid spacer and coordination sites to connect two such molecules by a second type of linear building unit.[1] We recently reported that oxalato and chloranilate bridged dinuclear species are suitable units not only for rectangles, but also for prisms and cages by the aforementioned construction principles.[7] We wondered if we could tune such molecular rectangles by extending the spacers of the rectangular structure into the third dimension to form large cavities, thus simulating the caging properties of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for soluble compounds. Based on 6, 11-dihydroxy-5, 12-naphthacenedione (H2dhnq) and pyrazine spacing ligands, and half-sandwich iridium corners, we built up a molecular organometallic box, which exhibited selective and reversible CH2Cl2 adsorption properties while
