A novel bimetallic cage complex constructed from six V4Co pentatomic rings: hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of [(2,2'-Py2NH)2Co]3V8O23.
A bimetallic cluster complex, [(2,2'-Py2NH)2Co]3V8O23 (2,2'-Py2NH = 2,2'-dipyridylamine) 1, has been hydrothermally synthesized; X-ray crystallography reveals that 1 possesses a novel cage topology structure in which the metal cluster core is constructed from six V4Co pentatomic rings.
