A tale of two polyhedra: two nested Archimedean metal-organic polyhedra, a rhombicuboctahedron (Co(48) cage) and a cuboctahedron (Co(24) cage), have been assembled from two types of cobalt dimers and two complementary ligands. Within the 3D covalent cubic array of outer Co(48) cages and framework lie encapsulated inner Co(24) cages that are linked into a separate "hidden" 3D framework.
两个嵌套的阿基米德金属有机多面体，一个菱形十二面体（Co(48)笼）和一个立方体（Co(24)笼），由两种类型的钴二聚体和两种互补配体组装而成。在外层 Co(48)笼的三维共价立方阵列和骨架内，包含被包裹的内层 Co(24)笼，这些笼被连接成一个单独的“隐藏”三维骨架。
