AI Article Synopsis
- A new supramolecular cuboctahedron made of 240 boron atoms has been created using a method called coordination-driven assembly.
- The structure consists of copper paddle-wheel nodes combined with carborane-isophthalic acids, resulting in a simple and high-purity synthesis.
- Its precise characterization through X-ray diffraction sets it apart from other boron-rich nanostructures, highlighting its unique properties.
Article Abstract
A boron-rich supramolecular cuboctahedron containing an impressive 240 boron atoms has been synthesized via coordination-driven assembly. The cuboctahedron, which is composed of Cu(2+) paddle-wheel nodes and carborane-isophthalic acids, was obtained simply and in high purity. The ability to precisely characterize the nanostructure via X-ray diffraction makes it unique among boron-rich nanostructures.
