Patterned metal polyhedra using calixarenes as organizational scaffolds: Ir4-based cluster assemblies.
Isolated and patterned assemblies of Ir(4)-based metal polyhedra are described, in which a coordinated calixarene phosphine ligand enforces the desired cluster organization. The compounds are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy.
