Abstract
A new hexaketone ligand has been prepared, 1,3-bis(2-methyl-4,6,8-octanetrion-8-yl) benzene, abbreviated H 4 MOB, that is capable of binding four metal ions. Two deprotonated ligand molecules and four divalent metal ions form neutral, molecular complexes. A crystal structure is reported for the tetranuclear copper(II) complex. Recrystallization from pyridine yields single crystals of Cu 4 (MOB) 2 (py) 4 •2py. Crystal data: P2 1 /c
