Hemibuckminsterfullerene C_(30)H_(12) X-ray Crystal Structures of the Parent Hydrocarbon and of the Two-Dimensional Organometallic Network {[Rh_2(0_2CCF_3)_4]_3.(C_(30)H_(12))}

摘要

Since the discovery of fullerenes,bowl-shaped polyarenes that map onto the surface of C_(50) have attracted considerable attention.These geodesic fullerene fragments or "bucky-bowls" represent an exciting new class of aromatic ligands that exhibit unique chemistry.Substantial efforts have recently been directed toward studies of the reactivity and ligating properties of buckybowls,but very few of their transition metal complexes have been isolated.
