Abstract
Anthracene in a bucket: Coordination-driven assembly of a ditopic ligand with copper salts leads to two stable tetranuclear complexes. The major complex, characterized by X-ray crystallography (see picture), displays a face-to-face arrangement of the phenanthroline subunits, and the inclusion of an anthracene molecule can be demonstrated by both proton NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The minor species has a plaited structure and does not exhibit significant interaction with the anthracene guest.
