摘要

The solvothermal reactions of Co-II salts and three rigid polytriazolate ligands lead to a linear Co-4 cluster, [Co-4(3,5-bptp)(2)(OMe)(2)(NO3)(2)(MeOH)(2)]center dot 1.5H(2)O center dot MeCN (1), and a square-shaped {Co-16} metallamacrocycle, [Co-16(1,3-bptb)(4)(3,5-bptpt)(4)(OMe)(12)(H2O)(2)]center dot 25H(2)O (2), which comprises four linear {Co-4} subunits similar to those of 1 bridged by the longer 3,5-bptpt(3-) ligands into a nanoscale molecular square.
