Nanometer-sized bowls: six metal centers and four tridentate ligands self-assemble in aqueous solution to give the macrotricycle 1, which has approximate dimensions of 3×2×2 nm. Another macrocycle (not shown), obtained with a different ligand, is of similar size and topology but differs considerably from 1 in its host-guest behavior.
六个金属中心和四个三齿配体在水溶液中自组装形成大环化合物1，其尺寸约为3×2×2纳米。另一种大环化合物（未示出），由不同的配体制得，具有相似的大小和拓扑结构，但在主客体行为方面与1有很大不同。
