Abstract

AbstractA proof‐of‐concept related to the redox‐control of the binding/releasing process in a host–guest system is achieved by designing a neutral and robust Pt‐based redox‐active metallacage involving two extended‐tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF) ligands. When neutral, the cage is able to bind a planar polyaromatic guest (coronene). Remarkably, the chemical or electrochemical oxidation of the host–guest complex leads to the reversible expulsion of the guest outside the cavity, which is assigned to a drastic change of the host–guest interaction mode, illustrating the key role of counteranions along the exchange process. The reversible process is supported by various experimental data (1H NMR spectroscopy, ESI‐FTICR, and spectroelectrochemistry) as well as by in‐depth theoretical calculations performed at the density functional theory (DFT) level.
