An ellipsoidal H-bonded dimeric thiourea cage with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) derived binding units located at the two ends of the structure has been synthesized. This cage with its unique shape, size, electronic properties and metal endohedral functionality at the TREN binding sites provide high degree of selectivity of suitably substituted guest molecules. Its properties and catalytic activity are currently being studied.
