Steric hindrance groups hold a pivotal role in the self-assembly process of biomolecules. Building on this insight, a strategy for synthesizing outward-everted molecular cages by endo-modification of steric hindrance groups on dissymmetrical ligands is proposed in this work. Specifically, the dissym...
