Abstract

Reaction of Co(OAc)₂·4H₂O and Hsal in a basic MeCN solution affords the hexadecanuclear wheel [Co₁₆(sal)₁₆(OAc)₁₆]·16MeCN (1·16MeCN) that displays ferromagnetic nearest neighbour exchange and has pseudo-calixarene character. Symmetry equivalent wheels self-assemble to form remarkable tubular networks of capsules in the extended structure.
