Abstract

The first coordination disk-type nano-Saturn complexes, [Cu₁₀(Mim)₁₀]⊃C₆₀ and [Cu₁₀(Mim)₁₀]⊃C₇₀ (Mim = 2-methylimidazolate), were assembled under one-pot solvothermal conditions. The highest number of 30 C–H⋯π interactions between the [Cu₁₀(Mim)₁₀] disk and the C₆₀/C₇₀ surfaces drives the formation of the nano-Saturns. The calculated interaction energy is much larger than that of most of the reported disk-type nano-Saturns. Different photoinduced charge/energy transfer mechanisms are present for both nano-Saturn systems to quench the intrinsic luminescence of the [Cu₁₀(Mim)₁₀] disk.
