A New Class of Hydroxo‐Bridged Heptacopper(II) Clusters with an Acentrosymmetric Corner‐Sharing Double‐Cubane Framework Supported by <scp>D</scp>‐Penicillaminedisulfides

Abstract

Copper cubes: An oxygen-bridged heptacopper(II) structure, [Cu7(μ3-OH)6(μ3-X)2(D-pends)3], bearing D-penicillaminedisulfide (D-H2pends) as an auxiliary ligand was synthesized (see figure). This structure has a novel corner-sharing double-cubane framework without an intramolecular inversion center (i), which exhibits different magnetic behavior to that found in related double-cubane heptacopper(II) clusters with i.
