title: Design, characterization, and X-ray structure of an interlocked dinuclear chair-like metallomacrocycle: [Fe(II)2(3,5-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyridin-4'-phen-3-yl)toluene)2][4PF6-].
abstract: The self-assembly of 3,5-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyridin-4'-phen-3-yl)toluene with an equimolar amount of a Fe(II) salt afforded a high yield of an interlocked dinuclear tetracationic "molecular gear" that was confirmed by single crystal X-ray data.
