Shape and size directed self-selection in organic cage formation

Abstract

The selective formation of a single isomer of a [3+2] self-assembled organic cage from a reaction mixture of an unsymmetrical aldehyde and a flexible amine is discussed. The experimental and theoretical findings suggest that in such a process, the geometric features of the aldehyde play a key role.
