N2 - Supramolecular nanocages with inner cavities have attracted increasing attention due to their fascinating molecular aesthetics and vast number of potential applications. Even though a wide array of discrete supramolecular cages with precisely designed sizes and shapes have been established, the controlled assembly of higher-order supramolecular frameworks from discrete molecular entities still represents a formidable challenge. In this work, a novel metallo-organic cage [Zn12L4] was assembled based on a triphenylene-cored hexapod terpyridine ligand. Synchotron X-ray analysis revealed a pair of enantiomeric cages in the crystal with flexible ligands twisted clockwise or anticlockwise due to steric hindrance in the structure. Interestingly, due to the strong π-π intermolecular interaction between triphenylene units, a controlled hierarchical packing of sphere-like cages in the crystal was established having a sparse packing mode with huge channels of around 3.6 nm diameter.
