    Abstract

    Sugared donuts: Reactions of hydrated chromium fluoride with N-ethyl-D-glucamine (H5Etglu) in pivalic acid, in the presence of nickel carbonate, leads to heterometallic "glu-ed" rings. These rings allow for construction of polyring arrays, for example an assembly where four glued rings are attached to tetrapyridylporphyrin (see structure; F yellow, O red, N blue, Cr purple, Ni green, C black).
