Enhancing hierarchical structural complexities of metal-organic nanocapsules is an effective way of introducing new functions and properties. Herein, we present the synthesis of novel magnesium seamed C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arene nanocapsules with hierarchical structural complexity via both exterior and endohedral functionalization. The exterior functionalization is realized by using a variety of covalently modified pyrogallol[4]arene ligands, while the endohedral functionalization is achieved via coordination-driven self assembly. Especially, functionalization of nanocapsule interior by attaching a proline hexad via metal coordination will shed light to the design and synthesis of metal-organic species with hetero-ligated architectures.
