Abstract
The design and synthesis of polynuclear metal cluster-based coordination cages is of considerable interest due to their appealing structural characteristics and potential applications. Herein, we report a calix[4]resorcinarene-based [Co] coordination cage, [Co(TPC4R-I)(1,3-BDC)(μ-OH)(HO)(DMF)]·7DMF·23HO (), assembled with 2 bowl-shaped calix[4]resorcinarenes (TPC4R-I), 10 angular 1,3-benzenedicarboxylates (1,3-BDC), and 12 Co(II) cations. Remarkably, it is shown to be a highly efficient recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for CO conversion due to its exposed Co(II) Lewis acid sites.
