Abstract
A stimuli-responsive metallaprism I·6CF3SO3- [1, L = ?6-p-cymene, R = C11H23, X = 3-undecyl-2,5-dioxy-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dionato(2-)] composed of six p-cymene ruthenium corners bridged by 3-undecyl-1,4-benzoquinonato-2,5-diolato ligands and connected by triangular 2,4,6-tri-4-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine panels has been prepd. by self-assembly of binuclear ruthenium complex [(?6-p-cymene)RuCl(?-O2C6HRO2)RuCl(?6-p-cymene)] with 2,4,6-tri-4-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine ligands with 87% yield. In soln., the nature of the solvent and the temp. dictate the conformation of the metallaprism. The alkyl chains can either point away from the metallaprism or hide in the hydrophobic environments of the metallaprism. [on SciFinder(R)]
