title: Intervalence charge-transfer system by 1D assembly of new mixed-valence octanuclear CuI/CuII/CuIII cluster units.
abstract: The reaction of Cu(Hm-dtc)(2), Br(2), and CuBr(2) yielded a new mixed-valence octanuclear Cu(I)/Cu(II)/Cu(III) cluster, encapsulating a Br anion in the center of the cluster cage. The octanuclear cluster units form a 1D assemblage, which induces intervalence charge-transfer transitions from Cu(II) ions to Cu(III) ions between the clusters.
