A collaboration of Finnish and Russian scientists has resulted in the creation of a gold-diphosphine helical cage that plays host to small organic molecules, like dichloromethane and carbon disulphide. Igor Koshevoy and colleagues from the University of Eastern Finland, and Sergey Tunikv and co-workers from St. Petersburg State University have shown that the assembly of these cages occur via an unprecedented transformation.
