Reaction of CuCl2·2H2O with p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene (H4TC[4]A) affords a [CuII24] cage whose metallic skeleton conforms to a truncated octahedron in which the metal ions are strongly antiferromagnetically coupled. A structurally related [Cu8] cluster can be made using CuBr2 in an otherwise identical reaction.
