Abstract
A large cationic triangular metallo-prism, [Ru6(p-PriC6H4Me)6(tpt)2(dhbq)3]6+ (1)6+, incorporating p-cymene ruthenium building blocks, bridged by 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinonato (dhbq) ligands, and connected by two 2,4,6-tri(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (tpt) subunits, allows the permanent encapsulation of the triphenylene derivs. hexahydroxytriphenylene, C18H6(OH)6 and hexamethoxytriphenylene, C18H6(OMe)6. These two cationic carceplex systems [C18H6(OH)6?1]6+ and [C18H6(OMe)6?1]6+ were isolated as their triflate salts. The mol. structure of these systems was established by 1-dimensional 1H ROESY NMR expts. as well as by the single-crystal structure anal. of [C18H6(OMe)6?1][O3SCF3]6. [on SciFinder(R)]
