A giant quasi-spherical supramolecule [{Cp*Fe(eta(5)-P-5)}(12)(CuBr)(18.8)] encapsulating o-carborane was prepared by the reaction between CuBr and [Cp*Fe(eta(5)-P-5)] (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) and structurally characterized. The crystal structure can be treated as solid solution of various [(Cp*Fe(eta(5)-P-5))(12)(CuBr)(n)] supramolecules with n = 18-20. Two crystals obtained from ...

A giant quasi-spherical supramolecule [{Cp*Fe(eta(5)-P-5)}(12)(CuBr)(18.8)] encapsulating o-carborane was prepared by the reaction between CuBr and [Cp*Fe(eta(5)-P-5)] (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) and structurally characterized. The crystal structure can be treated as solid solution of various [(Cp*Fe(eta(5)-P-5))(12)(CuBr)(n)] supramolecules with n = 18-20. Two crystals obtained from different syntheses differ in the location of vacant CuBr positions and solvent molecules. Surprisingly, the supramolecules are packed following the low-density reo (ReO3) packing.
