Graphical Abstract
Addition of a coligand in reactions of phosphonates with salts of late 3d metals can lead to more soluble and tractable materials, such as the {Co13} cage shown (Co: green; P: purple). The structure contains two central PhPO32− ligands, surrounded by a hexanuclear cobalt helix, capped by seven further cobalt sites.

, a=12.440(3), b=13.640(3), c=17.010(4) Å, α=96.511(4), β=109.479(3), γ=112.445(4)°, V=2417.2(9) Å3, Z=1 (the molecule lies on an inversion center), T=150.0(2) K, crystal size 0.20×0.05×0.02 mm, μ(MoKα)=0.906 mm−1. Data for 1 were collected with a Stoe Stadi-4 diffractometer; data for 2 and 3 were collected on a Bruker Smart APEX CCD area detector. Both diffractometers were equipped with an Oxford Cryosystems low-temperature device. Absorption corrections were applied to all data by face-indexing for 1 (min./max. transmission: 0.624/0.829), by using ψ scan data for 2 (min./max. transmission: 0.658/0.928), and by using Sadabs (area-detector absorption correction; Siemens Industrial Automation Inc., Madison, WI, 1996) for 3 (min./max. transmission: 0.806/0.928). The structures were solved by direct methods using SHELXS-97 for 1 and 2 (
G. M. Sheldrick, SHELX97, Programs for Crystal Structure Analysis, University of Göttingen, 1998), and SIR92 for 3 (
A. Altomare, G. Cascarano, C. Giacovazzo, A. Guagliardi, J. Appl. Crystallogr. 1993, 26, 343), and completed by iterative cycles of ΔF syntheses and full-matrix least-squares refinement against F 2 (
G. M. Sheldrick, SHELX97, Programs for Crystal Structure Analysis, University of Göttingen, 1998). In 2 there is one chp ligand disordered over two orientations, with a common oxygen position, while in 3 the crystallographically unique PhPHO2 ligand is disordered over two orientations with common O sites. In 1 and 2 there were diffuse regions of solvent of crystallization, which was treated by the method of van der Sluis and Speck (
P. van der Sluis, A. L. Spek, Acta Crystallogr. Sect. A 1990, 46, 194–201). A half-occupancy molecule of Hchp was also found in the lattice of 2. Hydrogen atoms were included in calculated positions, riding on parent carbon atoms, with U(H)=1.2 Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms and U(H)=1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl hydrogen atoms. All full-weight non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters to give: for 1, for 995 parameters, wR2=0.1959 for 15 739 unique data (2θ≤40°), R1=0.0854 for 6002 data with Fo>4σ(F), max./min. residual electron density 0.724/−0.540 e Å3; for 2, for 1955 parameters, wR2=0.2456 for 30 480 unique data (2θ≤50°), R1=0.0868 for 13 202 data with Fo>4σ(F), max./min. residual electron density 1.327/−1.233 e Å3; for 3, for 622 parameters, wR2=0.1597 for 4510 unique data (2θ≤40°), R1=0.0673 for 2297 data with Fo>4σ(F), max./min. residual electron density 0.401/−0.419 e Å3.

- 10 Harris notation describes the binding mode as [X.Y1Y2Y3…︁Yn], where X is the overall number of metals bound by the whole ligand, and each value of Y refers to the number of metal atoms attached to the different donor atoms. Therefore for chp, there will be two values for Y, while for PhPO32− there will be three values of Y. The ordering of Y is listed by the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules, hence O before N. See: R.
