Abstract

New balls please! Reaction of Cu(BF4)2 with [(dach)PtII] (dach = trans (±)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane) and bis(ethylthio)methylenepropanedioate (BETMP) gave [{(dach)Pt(BETMP)}2Cu(BF4)2] (1; shown schematically). Dimerization of 1 in methanol leads to the first inorganic "tennis ball" 2 [Eq. (1)]. A BF4-ion is encapsulated in the cavity of 2.
