- Abstract
The reaction of [CpBnFe(η5-P5)] ( 1) (CpBn=η5-C5(CH2Ph)5) with CuI selectively yields a novel spherical supramolecule (CH2Cl2)3.4@[(CpBnFeP5)12{CuI}54(MeCN)1.46] ( 2) showing a linkage of the scaffold atoms which is beyond the Fullerene topology. Its extended CuI framework reveals an outer diameter of 3.7 nm-a size that has not been reached before using five-fold symmetric building blocks. Furthermore, 2 shows a remarkable solubility in CH2Cl2, and NMR spectroscopy reveals that the scaffold of the supramolecule remains intact in solution. In addition, a novel 2D polymer [{CpBnFe(η5-P5)}2{Cu6(μ-I)2(μ3-I)4}] n ( 3) with an uncommon structural motif was isolated. Its formation can be avoided by using a large excess of CuI in the reaction with 1.
