Russian doll assembled superanion capsule–metal ion complexes: combinatorial supramolecular chemistry in aqueous media
TL;DR: In this article, the focus of this perspective is the self assembly in aqueous solutions (pH < 3.5) of the synthons sodium p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene and 18-crown-6, or related macrocycles, into globular superanions or ionic capsules.

Self-Assembled Superanions: Ionic Capsules Stabilized by Polynuclear Chromium(III) Aqua Cations
TL;DR: An inclusion complex of an inclusion complex can facilitate the crystallization of polynuclear transition metal aqua ions that have different charge, size and shape, such as [Cr2(OH)2(H2O)8]4+, [Cr3(O)4(H 2O)10]5+ and [Cr4(OH)-6(H)12]6+.

Selective isolation of Keggin ions using self-assembled superanion capsules†
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained a crystal structure with three distinct elements: the cationic Keggin ion [Al13O4(OH)24(H2O)12]7+, an anionic capsule [Na(18crown-6)(H 2O)2L2(H+)w]x − and a water bearing calixarene.

Lanthanum(III) capture of 18-crown-6 in the cavity of p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene
TL;DR: Aqueous solutions of sodium p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene, 18crown-6 and lanthanum(III) trichloride at pH 2.5 afford the "ferris wheel" type supercation as discussed by the authors.
