Self-assembled nanostructures of an M4L6 tetrahedral geometry were targeted from bi- or tridentate chelators and octahedral metals or lanthanides.  Introverted functional groups such as amines and carboxylic acids were introduced to control guest binding and reactivity.  The introduction of different groups allows for tuning of the complex to different guests, and modular synthesis allows for variety in chelator geometry.
