Supramolecular assembly of predesigned organic and inorganic building blocks has been recognized as an excellent tool in constructing well-defined nanosized molecules for potential application in molecular devices.[1] In particular, discrete hollow structures such as capsules [2] formed by metal-mediated assembly of organic ligands are of great interest because of the chemical phenomena that may occur in their inner space.[3] However, the number of metals used to maintain the shapes of metal-assembled architectures is still limited. Metal-exchangeable coordination architectures with a series of transition-metal ions would give rise to a large number of metal-dependent functions. Here we present a novel disk-shaped tris-monodentate ligand 1 that forms 10 structurally equivalent coordination capsules,[M6 (1) 8] 12+, with a series of divalent d5–d10 transition-metal ions, M2+(M= Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Hg) through self-assembly protocols. The resulting complexes have an octahedronshaped structure in which the six metal ions lie on the apexes and the eight sides are occupied with eight ligands 1. X-ray structural analysis of a single crystal of [Hg6 (1) 8-(CF3SO3) 12] revealed a 3-nm-sized octahedron-shaped capsule structure, with sides of 1.8 nm in length. Some of these complexes have two axial ligands at each hexacoordinate metal center, one each from inside and outside the cavity. Note that the inner space of the capsule was successfully decorated with other anionic ligands as a result of the siteselective replacement of the six CF3SO3 À ligands coordinated from inside the capsule.
