Templated assembly of a mu6-CO3 2- dodecanuclear lanthanum dibenzoylmethanide hydroxido cluster with concomitant formation of phenylglyoxylate.
Reaction of LaCl(3) and dibenzoylmethane (Ph(2)acacH) in methanol with an excess of triethylamine resulted in the unexpected formation of a dodecanuclear hydroxo-bridged La cluster templated by CO(3)(2-) and phenylglyoxylate (Phgly), as determined by X-ray crystallography.
