Abstract

Saddle shaped (5,14-dihydro-2,3,6,8,11,12,15,17-octamethyldibenzo[b,i][1,4,8,11] tetraazacyclotetradecine)nickel(II), Ni(OMTAA), acts as a divergent receptor molecule with C₆₀ forming a 1:1 complex in solution and in the solid state, isolated as [Ni(OMTAA)C₆₀]·2CS₂. The extended supramolecular array is based on linear chains of close contact C₆₀ molecules [fullerene ⋯ fullerene centroids 10.03(1) and 10.04(1) Å], and linear chains of π-stacked alternating molecules of C₆₀ and Ni(OMTAA) with adjacent chains running in opposite directions.
