Abstract

The construction of a heteronuclear (Ru4Fe2) hexameric metallomacrocycle with methyl- and carbonyl-functionalized bis(terpyridyl) moieties was achieved by a self-assembly of a dinuclear trimer, which was prepared in high yield viaPd(0) coupling of a bis-iodo functionalized dinuclear complex with a terpyridine possessing an acetylene group.
