Design of Novel Hexametallic Cartwheel Molecules from Persubstituted Benzene Compounds

The cartwheel complexes A are novel, nano‐sized hexametallic species available from persubstituted benzenes C6[3,5‐(CH2Y)2C6H3] (Y=NMe2, P(O)Ph2, PPh2, SPh). The molecular structure of A (Y=SPh, MLn=PdCl) shows C3 symmetry with adjacent radial Pd−Pd separations of 7.339(2) and 8.006(2) Å and a diame...

Description
Summary:The cartwheel complexes A are novel, nano‐sized hexametallic species available from persubstituted benzenes C6[3,5‐(CH2Y)2C6H3] (Y=NMe2, P(O)Ph2, PPh2, SPh). The molecular structure of A (Y=SPh, MLn=PdCl) shows C3 symmetry with adjacent radial Pd−Pd separations of 7.339(2) and 8.006(2) Å and a diametrically opposed Pd−Pd separation of 15.340(2) Å. Because of their size hexametallic species such as A are potential homogeneous catalysts in organic reactions which can be recovered by nanomembrane filtration techniques.
