A molecular loop with interstitial channels in a chiral environment: exploration of the chemistry of Mo24+ species with chiral and non-chiral dicarboxylate anions
Abstract
An enantiomericaly pure chiral loop containing two cis-Mo2(DAniF)22+
(DAniF = di-p-anisylformamidinate) units was obtained by reaction of cis-[Mo2(DAniF)2(NCMe)4](BF4)2 with a chiral dicarboxylate which is easily prepared from
