Abstract

Polymeric {Cu₆[(μ₃-η²:η²:η²)₂-C₆₀](FPz)₆Cl·3C₆H₅Cl}_∞ [FPz = 4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolate], synthesized solvothermally with chlorobenzene as the solvent, is a doubly-connecting trans bis-adduct hexanuclear cuprofullerene that has copper in mixed valence. The compound is an example of a metallofullerene having semiconductivity character.
