Polymerization in a nutshell : A discrete spherical Pd 12 L 24 complex was prepared that confines 24 tethered methyl methacrylate (MMA) units internally (see picture; shell blue, Pd yellow, O red, C gray; MMA shown as space‐filling representation). Endohedral radical polymerization of the monomer proceeds efficiently as a result of the high concentration of MMA units within the restricted space of the core (inner diameter: 3.7 nm).
