Folded Cr12Co12 and Cr12Ni12 wheels: a sharp increase in nuclearity of heterometallic chromium rings†
Abstract
Two novel record-sized heterometallic Cr12M12 (M = Co, Ni) chromium wheels with an unusual saddle-like architecture are created by reacting appropriate precursor complexes with the bridging ligand 2,2′-bipyrimidine.
