Four different three-dimensional metal-fullerene frameworks were synthesized through polymerization of two C -derived dodecaacids with varying alkyl spacers in the presence of Ca , Cu or Cd ions. Structural analysis of the frameworks was performed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and porosity of the materials was investigated by sorption measurements.

The C fullerene molecule has attracted tremendous interest for its distinctive nearly spherical structure. By contrast, all-metal counterparts have been elusive: Fullerene-like clusters composed of noncarbon elements typically suffer from instability, resulting in more compact geometries that require multiple embedded atoms or external ligands for stabilization. In this work, we present the synthesis of an all-metal fullerene cluster, [K@AuSb], using a wet-chemistry method.

Taking into account the diversity of fullerene ligands and metal salts, metal-fullerene frameworks (MFFs) present a variety of structures. Currently, the structural control of MFFs mainly relies on the design and synthesis of fullerene ligands, while the influence of metal building units on the structures has been rarely studied. The present work represents a systematical investigation of fullerene-linked supramolecular architectures incorporating different metal salts.

Lithium-ion-encapsulated fullerenes (Li@C) are 3D superatoms with rich oxidative states. Here we show a conductive and magnetically frustrated metal-fullerene-bonded framework {[Cu(Li@C)(L)(py)](NTf)(hexane)} (1) (L = 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(methanesulfonamido)benzene, py = pyridine, NTf = bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonamide anion) prepared from redox-active dinuclear metal complex Cu(L)(py) and lithium-ion-encapsulated fullerene salt (Li@C)(NTf). Electron donor Cu(L)(py) bonds to acceptor Li@C via eight Cu‒C bonds.

Hexakis-substituted [60]fullerene adducts with icosahedral symmetry provide an unprecedented scaffold for the spatial arrangement of twelve functional groups with high geometric precision. This unique molecular symmetry identifies such polyfunctional organic building blocks as potential highly connective linkers for coordination polymer and metal-organic framework synthesis. Hereby, the linker exhibits a higher connectivity than the metal ions and with the main connectivity based on the ligand, this can create a new type of inversely cross-linked framework.
