title: Synthetic and magnetic studies of a dodecanuclear cobalt wheel.
abstract: The synthesis, structural characterisation and preliminary magnetic studies of a Co12 wheel are reported; the magnetic investigations reveal that the electronic ground state has a spin S = 6, which corresponds to ferromagnetic interactions between the twelve Co(II) ions.
