Description:
We describe a solid-state material formed from binary assembly of atomically precise molecular clusters. [Co6Se8(PEt3)6][C60]2 and [Cr6Te8(PEt3)6][C60]2 assembled into a superatomic relative of the cadmium iodide (CdI2) structure type. These solid-state materials showed activated electronic transport with activation energies of 100 to 150 millielectron volts. The more reducing cluster Ni9Te6(PEt3)8 transferred more charge to the fullerene and formed a rock-salt-related structure. In this material, the constituent clusters are able to interact electronically to produce a magnetically ordered phase at low temperature, akin to atoms in a solid-state compound.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Roy, Xavier -- Lee, Chul-Ho -- Crowther, Andrew C -- Schenck, Christine L -- Besara, Tiglet -- Lalancette, Roger A -- Siegrist, Theo -- Stephens, Peter W -- Brus, Louis E -- Kim, Philip -- Steigerwald, Michael L -- Nuckolls, Colin -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Jul 12;341(6142):157-60. doi: 10.1126/science.1236259.
