One of our earliest reports on organic nanocapsules and related supramolecular architectures noted the key presence of lanthanide ions at the core of the capsule:  <i>Science</i>, 285, 1049 (1999).  Since that time, lanthanide ions have been shown to seam nanocapsules and other architectures in the solid state and in solution:  <i>ChemComm</i>, 50, 109 (2014).  In particular, the elucidation of solution structures using SANS techniques has revealed remarkable results.  In this presentation, emphasis will be placed on new results regarding the relation of solution architecture  to solid state structure.
