文摘

C₆₀[Cu₂₆Cl₂₆L₂{Cp*Fe(⁵-P₅)}₁₃(CH₃CN)₉] (L = H₂O) represents a first example of a complete encapsulation of C₆₀ itself by an inorganic fullerene-like system via molecular recognition of the five- and sixfold-symmetric structural motif of C₆₀. The product exhibits an inorganic cover consisting of 99 inorganic core atoms from pentaphosphaferrocene and Cu(I) chloride building blocks. This is the first instance of a hollow structure that completely encapsulates C₆₀. The overall spherical molecule possesses an outer diameter of 2.3 nm and shows a remarkable electronic interaction between C₆₀ and the encapsulating giant molecule.
