Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Jul 21;46(27):4932-4. doi: 10.1039/c0cc00234h. Epub 2010 Jun 4.

Abstract

A self-assembled M(2)L(4) palladium-pyridyl cluster with a "paddle-wheel" structure shows binding affinity in competitive organic solvents for neutral organic guests that possess both the correct size and electrostatic complementarity.
