Self-assembly of a chiral carbonate- and cytidine-containing dodecanuclear copper(II) complex: a multiarm-supplied globular capsule.
A dodecanuclear copper(II) globular-shaped structure has been obtained with the cytidine nucleoside and the templating carbonate anion. It shows receptor properties through anion-cation and multiple anion-pi interactions toward ClO 4 (-) as well as an overall antiferromagnetic coupling.
