Manipulating Clusters by Use of Competing N,O‐Chelating Ligands: A Combined Crystallographic, Mass Spectrometric, and DFT Study

Two heptanuclear discs, [Co7(L1)6(CH3O)6]2+ (Co7‐L1) and [Co7(L2)12](ClO4)2 (Co7‐L2), have been prepared by the reaction of [Co(H2O)6](ClO4)2 with Schiff base HL1 (HL1=2‐methoxy‐6‐[(methylimino)methyl]phenolate) or benzimidazole derivative HL2 (HL2=(1H‐benzo[d]imidazol‐2‐yl)methanolate), respectivel...
