Metal-organic coordination cages have been researched extensively over the past few decades, with advances including the formation of more complicated geometries and selective guest binding. However, the underlying principles dictating the formation of more complex structures, particularly concerning the selective formation of one structure out of a range of other possibilities, are still not fully understood. This project will focus on understanding the fundamental rules for the formation of different architectures. One strand of the project will focus on designing Cu(I) coordination cages, which preliminary results have suggested form more complicated and lower-symmetry structures than initially anticipated. The second strand of the project, to run simultaneously, will focus on the formation of low-symmetry, heteroleptic prismatic cages and attempting to decipher the rules governing the formation of one structure over another.

金属有机配位笼在过去的几十年中得到了广泛的研究，取得的进展包括形成更复杂的几何形状和选择性的客体结合。然而，决定形成更复杂结构的基本原理，特别是关于从一系列其他可能性中选择性地形成一种结构的原理，仍然没有完全理解。这个项目将侧重于理解不同架构形成的基本规则。该项目的一部分将集中在设计Cu（I）配位笼，初步结果表明，这些配位笼形成了比最初预期更复杂和更低对称性的结构。该项目的第二部分将同时进行，重点是形成低对称性，杂配棱柱笼，并试图破译一种结构形成另一种结构的规则。
