A lens-shaped supramolecule based on the bulky pentaphosphaferrocene [CpBIGFe(η5-P5)] and CuBr2

Abstract

Besides inherent fullerene-like hollow spheres, the metallasupramolecular chemistry of pentaphosphaferrocenes and CuBr2 afforded a conceptually new product, a compact 3.2 nm sized supramolecule [{1d}6(CuBr)32(CH3CN)6] formed by six largest pentaphosphaferrocene units [CpBIGFe(η5-P5)] (1d: CpBIG = η5-C5(4-nBuC6H4)5) so far and a framework of 32 copper and 32 bromide ions.
