Abstract

A volume of 132 Å³ is enclosed by the title compound 1, which thus offers plenty of room for potential guest molecules. The synthesis from 2 [{Cp*RhCl₂}₂] and 4 [CpCo(CN)₃]^- begins with the construction of a 'molecular square' whose corners are alternately occupied by Co and Rh centers. Two squares react with one another to give a 'molecular box' without cleavage of any M - C bonds. Cp = C₅H₅, Cp* = C₅Me₅.
