Ni(ii) N4-macrocycle grafted crown ether: caesium cobalt(iii) bis(dicarbollide) coordination polymer
Abstract
A mixture of a Ni(TMTAA) grafted crown ether and Cs[Co(C2B9H11)2] in toluene–CH2Cl2 affords a 1∶1 complex, comprised of layers of infinite two-dimensional polymeric arrays separated by layers of the cobalticarborane anion which themselves form two B–H⋯Cs+ hydrogen interactions.
