Abstract

Self-assembled coordination cages are interesting as drug delivery systems. Therefore, the synthesis of new ML (M = Pd, Pt) molecular cages, derived from highly fluorescent, rigid polyaromatic ligands is reported and the first PtL cage with a ligand consisting of three pyridine moieties is described. Photophysical properties were examined showing high quantum yieldsof up to 48% for the methoxy-functionalized ligands. Coordination of the ligands to palladium and platinum ions reduces the metallocages' fluorescence, however. The host-guest chemistry of the palladium cage with cisplatin is investigated confirming the encapsulation. The cages encapsulating cisplatin show a significantly increased cytotoxicity towards A549 (human lung adenocarcinoma) cells compared to cisplatin, and thus appear to be promising delivery vectors for the anticancer drug cisplatin.
