Towards Stepwise Cluster Assembly: A Decacopper(II) Complex Obtained by Controlled Expansion of a Metallasiloxane Cage

A decacopper(II) cluster. Clusters (shown in blue) can be expanded and their magnetic properties tuned by the addition of suitable metal‐complex ligands (shown in green). By using this method, [Cu6{(PhSiO2)6}2{(NC)Cu(tmpa)}4](PF6)4 was rationally designed by self‐assembly of four {(NC)Cu(tmpa)}+ uni...

Description
Summary:	A decacopper(II) cluster. Clusters (shown in blue) can be expanded and their magnetic properties tuned by the addition of suitable metal‐complex ligands (shown in green). By using this method, [Cu6{(PhSiO2)6}2{(NC)Cu(tmpa)}4](PF6)4 was rationally designed by self‐assembly of four {(NC)Cu(tmpa)}+ units around a robust hexacopper(II)‐siloxanolate cage (tmpa=tris(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine).
