Organometallic wheels based on coinage metal ions and norbornene: syntheses and structural characterization of [M(norbornene)3][SbF6] (M = Au, Ag, Cu)

Mauro Fianchini, Huixiong Dai and H. V. Rasika Dias


Three closely related organometallic spoke–wheel complexes featuring coinage metal ions, Au(I), Ag(I), and Cu(I), bonded to three norbornene molecules in trigonal planar fashion have been isolated and completely characterized using several methods including X-ray crystallography.
