Patterned metal polyhedra using calixarenes as organizational scaffolds: Ir4-based cluster assemblies

Dalton Trans. 2010 Mar 7;39(9):2194-7. doi: 10.1039/b922300b. Epub 2010 Jan 14.

Abstract

Isolated and patterned assemblies of Ir(4)-based metal polyhedra are described, in which a coordinated calixarene phosphine ligand enforces the desired cluster organization. The compounds are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy.
