There is intense current interest in molecular rotors,[1] which are comprised of a “stator”, a “rotator”, and a connecting axis. One important objective is the synthesis of assemblies in which the rotators are partially “enclosed” or sterically shielded from their environments.[1–6] This approach follows by analogy to macroscopic machines in which rotating components are often for safety or mechanical reasons encased in protective housings. Two prominent classes of molecular rotors are compasses and gyroscopes.[3, 4] When rotators feature dipole moments, they can be aligned in static electric fields, similar to compasses, or forced to turn unidirectionally in rotating electric fields,[1] similar to gyroscopes. In all cases, it is desirable that rotation be as “frictionless” as possible, without interference from nearby molecules or ions.We have found that the trigonal-bipyramidal iron tricarbonyl complexes trans-[Fe (CO) 3 (P {(CH2) nCH= CH2} 3) 2](n= 4–6) and square-planar palladium and platinum dichloride complexes trans-[MCl2 (P {(CH2) nCH= CH2} 3) 2](n= 6, M= Pd, Pt) undergo threefold intramolecular alkene metatheses that couple the trans phosphine ligands. Hydrogenations afford cage molecules of the types I and II, which bear a clear
