Phosphonate ligands encourage a Platonic relationship between cobalt(ii) and alkali metal ions

Abstract

Two new cobalt(II) cages are reported where the metal core has a high symmetry related to a Platonic solid; the choice of alkali metal used in the base used for deprotonation appears to influence the resulting structures.
