Abstract

Reaction of Rh₆(CO)₉(dppm)₂(μ₃-η²,η²,η²-C₆₀) (1) with C₆₀ in refluxing chlorobenzene followed by treatment with CNR (R = CH₂C₆H₅) at room temperature affords the first fullerene-metal sandwich complex Rh₆(CO)₅(dppm)₂(CNR)(μ₃-η²,η²,η²-C₆₀)₂ (2). Compound 2 has been characterized by an X-ray diffraction study. Electrochemical study of 2 reveals six well-separated reversible redox couples localized at C₆₀ cages due to a strong electronic communication between the two C₆₀ centers via the Rh₆ cluster spacer.
