A ferromagnetically coupled pseudo-calixarene [Co₁₆] wheel that self-assembles as a tubular network of capsules

Abstract

Reaction of Co(OAc)2·4H2O and Hsal in a basic MeCN solution affords the hexadecanuclear wheel [Co16(sal)16(OAc)16]·16MeCN (1·16MeCN) that displays ferromagnetic nearest neighbour exchange and has pseudo-calixarene character. Symmetry equivalent wheels self-assemble...

Two solvent-dependent Al16 nanorings: design, synthesis and nonlinear optical limiting behavior

“…27 Milios et al synthesized Co 16 by salicylaldehyde bridges. 28 Besides, Baca et al constructed a heterometallic ring Fe 6 Dy 8 with N -butyl diethanolamine isobutyrate and methanol (O hydroxyl ). 29 Yamamoto et al reported a series of [Pt(μ-SC 8 H 17 ) 2 ] n ( n = 5–13) clusters with the S atom as the connection point.…”
