The directed synthesis of organometallic cage molecules for the assembly of molecular nano-objects is a topical area of chemical research.[1] By combining the “molecular clip” strategy developed by Stang [2] with the “molecular paneling” strategy pioneered by Fujita,[3] we recently synthesized trigonal-prismatic cage molecules in which six (η6-arene) ruthenium or (η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) rhodium units are held together by two trigonal 2, 4, 6-tris (pyridin-4-yl)-1, 3, 5-triazine (tpt) panels and three dichloro [4] or oxalato [5] bridges. We have now extended this principle to construct the larger cationic hexanuclear metalloprism [Ru6 (p-iPrC6H4Me) 6 (tpt) 2-(dhbq) 3] 6+(16+), which incorporates p-cymene ruthenium building blocks and is bridged by 2, 5-dihydroxy-1, 4-benzoquinonato (dhbq) ligands and connected by two tpt subunits (Scheme 1).The hexametallic cation 16+ was prepared from the dinuclear complex [Ru2 (p-iPrC6H4Me) 2 (dhbq) Cl2][6] and tpt in the presence of AgO3SCF3. The cationic complex was isolated and characterized as its triflate salt 1-(OSO2CF3) 6 in 75% yield. The assembly of 16+ can also be achieved in the presence of [Pd (acac) 2] or [Pt (acac) 2](acac= acetylacetonato) to give the “complex-in-a-complex” cations [(acac) 2Pd&1] 6+ and [(acac) 2Pt&1] 6+ without affecting the overall yield (Scheme 2). Cations [(acac) 2Pd&1] 6+ and [(acac) 2Pt&1] 6+ were both isolated as their triflate salts.
