A trigonal prismatic Cu6-pyrazolato complex containing a μ6-F ligand

Abstract

The encapsulation of a fluoride ion in a trigonal prismatic Cu^II₆-pyrazolato cage results in a small expansion of the Cu₆-host. The structural, electronic and magnetic features of the Cu₆-complex, containing an endohedral fluoride in the rare μ₆-F coordination mode, are compared with those of the parent complex with a vacant Cu₆-cage.
