Abstract

A series of four unprecedented heterometallic metallagermsesquioxanes were synthesized. Their cage-like architectures have a unique type of molecular topology consisting of the hexairon oxo {Fe₆ O₁₉ } core surrounded in a triangular manner by three cyclic germoxanolates [PhGe(O)O]₅ . This structural organization induces antiferromagnetic interactions between the Fe^III ions through the oxygen atoms. Evaluated for this first time in catalysis, these compounds showed a high catalytic activity in the oxidation of alkanes and the oxidative formation of benzamides from alcohols.

Keywords: cage compounds; homogeneous catalysis; metallagermsesquioxanes; oxidation; structure elucidation.
