Construction and Magnetic Difference of {Co<sup>III</sup>Co<sup>II</sup><sub>12</sub>M<sup>II</sup><sub>6</sub>} (M = Co<sup>II</sup>/Cd<sup>II</sup>) Aggregates with

Controllable\nsynthesis of sophisticated aggregations has attracted\nwide attention from scientists. In this work, homo- and heterometallic\n{Co<sup>III</sup>Co<sup>II</sup><sub>12</sub>M<sup>II</sup><sub>6</sub>} (<i>M</i> = Co<sup>II</sup>/Cd<sup>II</sup>) aggregates\nwith similar skeletons, composed of two [Co<sub>3</sub>M<sub>3</sub>(dpbt)<sub>3</sub>] peripheries and a central [Co<sub>7</sub>(OH)<sub>8</sub>] vertex-fused double-cubane, were constructed from prefabricated\n{Co<sub>14</sub>} clusters and characterized by single-crystal X-ray\ndiffraction and XPS, ICP-MS, SEM (EDX), and so on. And then, the structure\nand magnetic differences of them had been further analyzed under dotted\nwith paramagnetic Co<sup>II</sup> ions and/or diamagnetic Cd<sup>II</sup> ions. Interestingly, the spin canting behavior in <b>{Co</b><sup><b>III</b></sup><b>Co</b><sup><b>II</b></sup><sub><b>18</b></sub><b>}</b> was suppressed in <b>{Co</b><sup><b>III</b></sup><b>Co</b><sup><b>II</b></sup><sub><b>12</b></sub><b>Cd</b><sup><b>II</b></sup><sub><b>6</b></sub><b>}</b>, upon the introducing\nof Cd<sup>II</sup> ions.
