title: Octadecanuclear macrocycles and nonanuclear bowl-shaped structures based on two analogous pyridyl-substituted imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate ligands.
abstract: Two types of unprecedented Cp*Rh-based (Cp* = η(5)-C5Me5) complexes, two octadecanuclear macrocycles, and a nonanuclear bowl-shaped complex have been synthesized from two analogous pyridyl-functionalized imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate ligands, 2-(pyridin-4-yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate ligand and 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate ligand, respectively.
