Cubic cage compounds composed of Co-CN-Ru linkages have been prepared which illustrate the following features: (i) new motifs for alkali metal ion complexation (i.e., cationic receptors for cations), (ii) a new family of triaza-metalloligands, and (iii) a double box-like cage. The cages are synthesized by the condensation of [CpCo(CN)(3)](-) and [Cp*Ru(NCMe)(3)](+) (cyclopentadienyl, Cp; pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, Cp*) the presence of Cs(+). The species [Cs subset[[CpCo(CN)(3)](4)[Cp*Ru](4)](+ ...[more]
