| Abstract: | Mixed-metal mesocates M2Pd3Br6L6]4− (M=TiIV, SnIV; L=4-diphenylphosphanyl-catecholate) have been synthesized, in which the two incommensurate symmetry elements generated by the different metal ions are linked by a rigid, bifunctional ligand to generate a C3h-symmetrical cluster (see picture). |
