Assembly of a trinuclear metallo-capsule from a tripodal tris(beta-diketone) derivative and copper(II)

摘要

A new metallo-capsule has been synthesised that consists of three copper(II) ions and two molecules of a tris-deprotonated tripodal ligand in which three 2,4-pentanedione groups are linked via their gamma-carbons through thioether spacers to the 1,3,5-positions of a triazine core.
