Abstract

Corannulene, the smallest subunit of C60 that retains a curved surface, forms crystalline η2-coordinated π complexes with dirhodium(II) tetrakis(trifluoroacetate) by using solvent-free gas-phase deposition. As many as three metal atoms coordinate to the double bonds found at the rim of each corannulene, with one such atom always located on the concave surface (see picture).
