Claim Text:
1. A multi-metallic organometallic complex comprising: a rigid base linker comprising a central ring formed by a monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic moiety or a spirane moiety, the central ring attaching two or more exterior rings, each of the two or more exterior rings attaching a metal-presenting arm, thus defining two or more metal-presenting arms in syn position with respect to the rigid base linker, wherein: each metal-presenting arm of said two or more metal-presenting arms comprises one or more ancillary ligands presenting said metal, said metal is bound to one or more auxiliary ligands through respective one or more auxiliary ligand metal bonds, each said one or more auxiliary ligand metal bonds is adapted to be represented through corresponding one or more auxiliary ligand metal bond three-dimensional vectors originating at said metal, metals pertaining to different metal-presenting arms are located at a metal-to-metal distance defining an imaginary sphere having said metal-to-metal distance as a diameter, and for each of said metals located at the metal-to-metal distance, a resulting vector corresponding to a sum of said one or more auxiliary ligand metal bond three-dimensional vectors is located inside said imaginary sphere; and wherein the multi-metallic organometallic complex has formula I: wherein, n is between 0 and 4; m1, m2, and m3 are independently between 1 and 4; p1, p2, and p3 are independently between 1 and 4; X is the monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic moiety or the spirane moiety; Y1, Y2, and Y3 independently comprise an aromatic, heteroaromatic, aliphatic, or heteroaliphatic ring; L M L
