Abstract

Crowning glory: The assembly of CuII or CuII and NiII and a new 1,4-aryl-linked bis(triketonato) ligand designed to adopt a bent configuration leads to unusual Cu6-nNinL 3 (n=0, 3) metallacycles that feature unique hexanuclear metallacoronand structural motifs. In the case of the hexanuclear Cu II species, strong antiferromagnetic interactions exist between proximate pairs of metal ions in each structure.
