A novel synthetic strategy for hexanuclear supramolecular architectures†
Abstract
Hexanuclear cage complexes [M6L6X](X)5 [M = Cu(I), Ag(I); L = 6,6′-bis(4-ethynylpyridine)2,2′-bipyridine; X = BF4−, SbF6−] have been prepared using a self-assembly approach; these architectures encapsulate anions in the solid-state and are fluxional in solution.
