Nanometer‐sized cavities are present in oligonuclear coordination compounds formed in molecular self‐assembly processes from C 3 ‐symmetric ligands and appropriate metal complex fragments. The structures obtained can be described as basic polyhedra such as tetrahedron, hexahedron, or octahedron (see picture).
