Abstract:

Polymeric {Cu6[(m3-(h2:h2:h2)2-C60](FPz)6Cl·3C6H5Cl}¥ [FPz = 4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolate], synthesized solvothermally with chlorobenzene as the solvent, is a doubly-connecting trans bis-adduct hexanuclear cuprofullerene that has copper in mixed valence. The compound is an example of a metallofullerene having semiconductivity character.
