Sumario:The article presents information on 24-fold endohedral functionalization of a self-assembled ML coordination nanoball. Biological giant hollow structures, such as a family of spherical viruses, have highly functionalized shell interior for efficient interaction with substances which are stored within the shells. Contrary to this, the voids of artificial hollow compounds are, in general, too small to be functionalized. In this article the authors report the 24-fold endohedral functionalization of a large hollow coordination cage.
