摘要

A heterometallic coordination cluster with the formula of {[Cu6Cd4(HL)(4)(Piv)(8)(H2O)(6)]center dot 4MeOH} (1, H4L = pentaerythritol, Hpiv = pivalic acid) has been synthesized. Compound 1 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I-4, and consists of a supertetrahedral cage with four Cd(II) and six Cu(II) ions held together by mu(3)-O bridges. Magnetic susceptibility exhibits that compound 1 is an antiferromagnet.
