title: Sandwich-shaped silver(I) metallomacrocycles encapsulating a XF6(2-) (X = Si, Ge and Sn) anion.
abstract: A series of sandwich-shaped complexes based on two square tetranuclear Ag(I) metallomacrocycles, [[Ag4(pprd)4]2(XF6)]-(BF4)6.8MeNO2 (pprd = 4-(2-pyridyl)pyrimidine; X = Si, Ge and Sn), in which a XF6(2-) anion is encapsulated, were prepared and their structures were characterized both in the solid state and solution.
