Abstract
A discrete octanuclear high-spin FeII cage [Fe8L12](BF4)16·n(solvent) was synthesised via metal ion-directed self-assembly. The cage formation is facilitated by incorporating a relatively flexible ditopic ligand with chelating pyrazolyl-pyridine functional units. The synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of this metallo-cage are presented.
