Sm. Contakes et al., THE 7-COMPONENT ASSEMBLY OF THE BOWL-SHAPED CAGES K-RH-7(7)(CN)(12)(2-ASTERISK-7RH3IR4(CN)(12)(2+)() AND CP), Organometallics, 17(17), 1998, pp. 3633-3635
A novel bowl-shaped cyanometalate cage [Cp-7Rh-7(CN)(12)](2+) (3) for
ms via the reaction between MeCN solutions of Et4N[CpRh(CN)(3)] and [
CpRh(NCMe)(3)](PF6)(2); this seven-component condensation proceeds in
89% yield. H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopic measurements as well as a s
ingle-crystal X-ray diffraction studies show that 3 features a C-3 ups
ilon Rh-7(CN)(9) cage, which can be described as a fragment of a Rh-8(
CN)(12) box.
