title: Tetraplatinum precursors for supramolecular assemblies: syntheses, crystal structures, and stereoselective self-assemblies of [Pt4(micro-OCOCH3)6(kappa4-N4-DArBp)] (DArBp = 1,3-bis(arylbenzamidinate)propane).
abstract: Treatment of the cisoid-capped complex [Pt(4)(micro-OCOCH(3))(6)(kappa(4)-N(4)-DAr'Bp)] (), which was obtained from the reaction of [Pt(4)(micro-OCOCH(3))(8)] (1) with Na(2)D(t)BuPhBp (D(t)BuPhBp = 1,3-bis(para-tert-butylphenylbenzamidinate)propane), with an equimolar amount of 1,1'-ferrocenedicarboxylic acid undergoes a stereoselective self-assembly to afford an indented-quadrangle tetramer [Pt(4)(micro-OCOCH(3))(4)(kappa(4)-N(4)-D(t)BuPhBp){Fe(C(5)H(4)COO)(2)}](4) as a single diastereomer.
