Treatment of an open-cage fullerene, designated as MMK-9, with (Ph 3 P) 4 Pt in toluene solution at room temperature allows a (PPh 3 ) 2 Pt unit to be incorporated into the rim of the cage so that it becomes an integral part of the carbon cage skeleton. The structure of the adduct has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and reveals that the platinum atom has planar PtC 2 P 2 coordination, rather than the usual η 2 -bonding to an intact C–C double bond of the fullerene.more » « less

Abstract The coordination sphere of the Fe(II) terpyridine complex
1 is rigidified by fourfold interlinking of both terpyridine ligands. Profiting from an octa‐aldehyde precursor complex, the ideal dimensions of the interlinking structures are determined by reversible Schiff‐base formation, before irreversible Wittig olefination provided the rigidified complex. Reversed‐phase HPLC enables the isolation of the all‐trans isomer of the Fe(II) terpyridine complex1 , which is fully characterized. While temperature independent low‐spin states were recorded with superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurements for both, the open precursor8 and the interlinked complex1 , evidence of the increased rigidity of the ligand sphere in1 was provided by proton T2relaxation NMR experiments. The ligand sphere fixation in the macrocyclized complex1 even reaches a level resisting substantial deformation upon deposition on an Au(111) surface, as demonstrated by its pristine form in a low temperature ultra‐high vacuum scanning tunneling microscope experiment.
