Going for a spin: The quantitative self-assembly of a verdazyl radical-cored ligand with [Pd(bpy)(NO3)2] (bpy=2,2′-bipyridyl) generates a large M6L4 spin cage in which multiple spin centers effectively surround the cavity. The inclusion of a radical guest within the cavity induces spin–spin interactions between the host and the guest.
