Abstract:
Herein we report two structurally intriguing Co(ii)-substituted polyoxometalates, a {Co(9)[P(2)W(15)](3)} and {Co(14)[P(2)W(15)](4)} (compounds 1 and 2) that are formed from the same building blocks under subtly different conditions. Compound 1 displays a structure previously predicted but never before realised, whilst compound 2 is the first Co-containing Dawson-based single-molecule magnet and has a unique cruciform structure.
