Herein, we report a new uranyl-organic polyhedron U 4 L 4 (L = BTPCA) assembled from uranyl and a semirigid tritopic ligand. By adjusting the carbon chain length of organic templates, two complexes can be obtained based on the diverse secondary assembly of U 4 L 4 cages. The mechanism of different a...
