The dynamic covalent self-assembly of 14 units of bis(perfluorocatecholato)silane leads to [Si(O<sub>2</sub> C<sub>6</sub> F<sub>4</sub> )<sub>2</sub> ]<sub>14</sub> -the first giant perfluorinated macrocycle. The oligomerization process is monitored spectroscopically, and the macrocycle analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecule forms a rigid cavity that can host two o-closo-dodecacarboranes. Computations rationalize the consistent and reproducible formation of the 14mer and dis ...[more]
