a Ga4L612– (L = N,N’-bis(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-1,5-diaminonaphtalene) tetrahedral assembly. b substrate trialkylphosphine(dimethyl)gold iodide (P(CH3)3(CH3)2AuI) is in equilibrium with P(CH3)3(CH3)2Au+, and the reaction occurring in the nanocage binds the positively charged unhalogenated form as proposed in ref. 35 Color key: carbon = gray, nitrogen = blue, hydrogen = white, oxygen = red, gallium = green.
