A [CuII24] truncated octahedron and its [CuII8] building block

Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

Reaction of CuCl2·2H2O with p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene (H4TC[4]A) affords a [CuII24] cage whose metallic skeleton conforms to a truncated octahedron in which the metal ions are strongly antiferromagnetically coupled. A structurally related [Cu8] cluster can be made using CuBr2 in an otherwise identical reaction.
