title: Multicomponent self-assembly of a nested Co24 @Co48 metal-organic polyhedral framework.
abstract: A tale of two polyhedra: two nested Archimedean metal-organic polyhedra, a rhombicuboctahedron (Co(48) cage) and a cuboctahedron (Co(24) cage), have been assembled from two types of cobalt dimers and two complementary ligands. Within the 3D covalent cubic array of outer Co(48) cages and framework lie encapsulated inner Co(24) cages that are linked into a separate "hidden" 3D framework.
