Abstract

The complete encapsulation of ortho-carborane by a fullerene-like building-block system consisting of pentaphosphaferrocene and Cu(I)Cl leads to the formation of the spherical supermolecule C(2)B(10)H(12) section sign[{Cp*Fe(eta(5)-P(5))}(12)(CuCl)(20)]. This product of template-controlled aggregation represents the first example of a carbon-free C(80) analogue possessing icosahedral symmetry.
