A corannulene-bis-N-imidazolium salt was used for the synthesis of two corannulene-bis-N-heterocyclic carbenes of dirhodium(i) complexes of formula (corannulene-di-NHC)[RhCl(COD)] and (corannulene-di-NHC)[RhCl(CO)]. Both complexes were characterized by spectroscopic techniques, and the electron-donating properties of the corannulene-di-NHC ligand were studied by means of infrared spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The complex (corannulene-di-NHC)[RhCl(COD)] was used for the encapsulation of fullerenes C and C, generating host-guest complexes with 2 : 1 stoichiometry, as evidenced by H NMR and ITC titrations. Then, a tetra-rhodium(i) metallo-rectangle supported by two corannulene-bis-imidazolylidene ligands and two cofacial 4,4'-bipyridine ligands was prepared and characterized. This metallobox is capable of quantitatively encapsulating fullerenes C and C, forming complexes that are highly stable even at high temperatures. The molecular structure of the metallobox with encapsulated C reveals a perfect size and shape complementarity that benefits from the concave-convex π-π interaction between the polyaromatic surfaces of the host and the guest.
一种碗烯 - 双 - N - 咪唑鎓盐被用于合成两种式为(碗烯 - 双 - NHC)[RhCl(COD)]和(碗烯 - 双 - NHC)[RhCl(CO)]的二铑(I)配合物的碗烯 - 双 - N - 杂环卡宾。两种配合物均通过光谱技术进行了表征,并通过红外光谱和循环伏安法研究了碗烯 - 双 - NHC配体的供电子性质。配合物(碗烯 - 双 - NHC)[RhCl(COD)]被用于包封富勒烯C和C,通过1H NMR和ITC滴定证明生成了化学计量比为2∶1的主客体配合物。然后,制备并表征了一种由两个碗烯 - 双 - 咪唑亚基配体和两个共面的4,4'-联吡啶配体支撑的四铑(I)金属矩形。这种金属盒能够定量包封富勒烯C和C,形成即使在高温下也高度稳定的配合物。包封有C的金属盒的分子结构揭示了完美的尺寸和形状互补性,这得益于主体和客体的多芳族表面之间的凹凸π - π相互作用。
