Abstract

Reaction of CuCl₂·2H₂O with p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene (H₄TC[4]A) affords a [Cu^II₂₄] cage whose metallic skeleton conforms to a truncated octahedron in which the metal ions are strongly antiferromagnetically coupled. A structurally related [Cu^II₈] cluster can be made using CuBr₂ in an otherwise identical reaction.
