Abstract

A vertex-sharing double square pyramid of cobalt(II) ions (see picture) is present in the nonanuclear complex 1, obtained by treating cobalt acetate with 0.5 equivalents of (py<sub>2</sub> )CO. The corresponding 1:1 reaction gave 2, which has a central core with a cubane structure. py=pyridine.
