Hierarchical　self-assembly　of　novel　supramolecular　networks　has　attracted　considerable　attention.　Herein　we　report　the　design　and　synthesis　of　pyrene-based　metallacapsules　and　metallacages　via　pi　center　dot　center　dot　center　dot　pi　interactions　and　a　metal-coordination-driven　hierarchical　self-assembly　approach.　These　metal-organic　structures　built　from　diamide-　and　triamide-based　multi-pyrazolyl　ligands　and　dipalladium(II,II)　corners　are　extended　into　2-D　supramolecular　networks　by　pi　center　dot　center　dot　center　dot　pi　packing　and　other　weak　intermolecular　interactions.
