Abstract
Two fascinating triply interlocked [2]catenanes and one simple triangular prism metallacage were constructed by tuning the widths of the organometallic dinuclear building blocks. Notably, the interlocked architectures were disassembled in the presence of large aromatic molecules to form their corresponding monomeric host-guest complexes.
