In situ redox reactions facilitate the assembly of a mixed-valence metal-organic nanocapsule

New approaches are required to access metal-organic assemblies with unusual structural properties. Here, the authors use an in situ redox reaction to obtain a mixed-valence, Mn(II)/Mn(III)-containing metal-organic nanocapsule with an odd number of metal ions.
