Sphere of destiny : Metal–organic spheres with remarkable encapsulation properties are readily prepared and their ability to host a wide range of guest species, including nanoparticles, fluorescent dyes, and quantum dots, is demonstrated. Both the metal–organic spheres and the encapsulated species maintain their fluorescent or magnetic properties, highlighting the importance of these systems as new multifunctional materials.
