Parallels in Cation and Anion Coordination: A New Class of Cascade Complexes

Abstract

Two fluoride ions in a single azacryptand: The two fluoride ions are bridged by a water molecule (see structure) to give an anion-based cascade complex, which mimics the analogous transition-metal cascade complexes with these ligands.
