Abstract

The reaction of [Cp*Fe({eta}5-P5)] with Cu(I)Cl in solvent mixtures of CH2Cl2/CH3CN leads to the formation of entirely inorganic fullerene-like molecules of the formula [{Cp*Fe({eta}5:{eta}1:{eta}1:{eta}1:{eta}1:{eta}1-P5)}12{CuCl}10{Cu2Cl3}5{Cu(CH3CN)2}5] (1) possessing 90 inorganic core atoms. This compound represents a structural motif similar to that of C60: cyclo-P5 rings of ...
