Graphical Abstract

A breath of fresh air is sufficient for the eightfold S-monooxygenation of an interpenetrated double cage based on eight phenothiazine ligands and four square-planar-coordinated PdII cations. Besides these two cages, which were both characterized by X-ray crystallography, an eightfold S-dioxygenated double-cage was obtained under harsher oxidation conditions.
