A series of half-sandwich rhodium-based metallamacrocycles with tetra- and hexanuclearities have been synthesized. They are assembled by linking the deprotonated 2,4-diacetyl-5-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-(3-pyridinyl)cyclohexanone (HL) ligand in the presence of counteranions. When the counteranion was the tetrahedral BF(4)(-) ion, tetranuclear metallamacrocycle [(Cp*RhL)(4)][BF(4)](4) (1d) was formed. However, the larger OTf(-) , PF(6)(-) , and SbF(6) (-) counterions favored the formation of hexanuclear metallamacrocycles [(Cp*RhL)(6)⊃2OTf][OTf](4) (1a), [(Cp*RhL)(6)⊃2PF(6)][PF(6)](4) (1b), and [(Cp*RhL)(6)⊃2SbF(6)][SbF(6)](4)⋅6CH(3)CN (1c) when the reactions were performed under the same conditions. Single-crystal X-ray analysis indicated that, in the solid state, two counteranions were encapsulated in each belt-like host molecule of hexanuclear metallamacrocycles 1a, b, and c. Based on the results of (1)H NMR analysis in methanol, the nuclearities of 1a-c and the two encapsulated anions in each molecular cavity were maintained in solution. In addition, tetranuclear metallamacrocycle 1d was converted into the hexanuclear metallamacrocycles 1a', b, and c after addition of the appropriate anion as its [NBu(4)](+) salt. The compound 1a' was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction to have the formula [(Cp*RhL)(6)⊃2OTf][BF(4)](4) ⋅2MeOH⋅2H(2) O. From the interconversion of the hexanuclear metallamacrocycles, we have concluded that the hexanuclear belt-like host in 1a-c has an clear selectivity for larger anions, in the sequence SbF(6) (-) ≈PF(6) (-) >OTf(-) >BF(4) (-) >Cl(-) .

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
