Copper gets into the ring: A decanuclear cyclic CuII complex is synthesized by direct treatment of CuCl2 with a fluorinated amino alcoholate containing one secondary and one tertiary nitrogen donor (see space-filling diagram; Cu light blue, Cl yellow, O red, N dark blue, C gray). Possible factors that lead to the self-assembly of the unique molecular wheel are discussed.
