Abstract: A dynamic covalent approach was exploited to generate a family of homometallic [Pt <subscript> n </subscript> L <subscript>2 n </subscript> ] <superscript>2 n +</superscript> cage (predominantly [Pt <subscript>2</subscript> L <subscript>4</subscript> ] <superscript>4+</superscript> systems) architectures. The family of platinum(II) architectures were characterized using <superscript>1</superscript> H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and the molecular structures of two cages were determined by X-ray crystallography.
