Serendipitous Assemblies of Two Large Phosphonate Cages: A Co-15 Distorted Molecular Cube and a Co-12 Butterfly Type Core Structure
: This report describes the synthesis, characterization, and magnetic properties of two novel phosphonate-based Co-II cages. Structural investigation reveals some interesting geometrical features in the molecular core that may provide new models in single molecular magnetic materials.
