Abstract
Treatment of M[Co(C2B9H11)(2)], M = Na or K, with [2.2.2]cryptand and 5,7,1 2,14-tetramethyldibenzo[b,i]-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecinenickel(ii) re sults in a 1:1:1 complex, assembled with the cobalticarborane anion snugly residing in the phenyl lined face of the Ni(ii) macrocycle through C-H . . .N and C-H . . . pi interactions, with the ensuing [M subset of [2.2.2]cryp tand](+) supercation residing in the smaller methyl faced cavity of the mac rocycle.
