Abstract
We present a systematic study on the formation of Pt<sub>12</sub>L<sub>24</sub> self-assemblies. By introducing steric bulk or charged moieties at the inside of the nanosphere Pt<sub>12</sub>L<sub>24</sub> self-assemblies form in excellent selectivity as kinetically trapped intermediates are destabilized.
