Popis: A giant quasi-spherical supramolecule [{Cp*Fe(η5-P5)}12(CuBr)18.8] encapsulating o-carborane was prepared by the reaction between CuBr and [Cp*Fe(η5-P5)] (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) and structurally characterized. The crystal structure can be treated as solid solution of various [(Cp*Fe(η5-P5))12(CuBr)n] supramolecules with n = 18–20. Two crystals obtained from different syntheses differ in the location of vacant CuBr positions and solvent molecules. Surprisingly, the supramolecules are packed following the low-density reo (ReO3) packing.
