New balls please! Reaction of Cu(BF 4 ) 2 with [(dach)Pt II ] (dach= trans (±)‐1,2‐diaminocyclohexane) and bis(ethylthio)methylenepropanedioate (BETMP) gave [{(dach)Pt(BETMP)} 2 Cu(BF 4 ) 2 ] ( 1 ; shown schematically). Dimerization of 1 in methanol leads to the first inorganic “tennis ball” 2 [Eq. (1)]. A BF 4 − ion is encapsulated in the cavity of 2 .
