A heteroleptic fused bi-cuboctahedral Cu21S2 cluster

Abstract

A new dicationic cluster, [Cu21S2{S2CNnBu2}9(C2Ph)6]2+, where the Cu21S2 kernel consists of two S@Cu12 cuboctahedra sharing a triangular Cu3 face is reported. Its waist part is bridged by three dithiocarbamate ligands, each in a hexaconnective, hexametallic (μ3, μ3) coordination pattern, an unprecedented feature in Cu nanocluster chemistry.
