The title cobalt(II) pseudoclathrochelate complexes possess an intermediate trigonal prismatic-trigonal antiprismatic geometry. As follows from PPMS data, they exhibit an SMM behaviour with Orbach relaxation barriers of approximately 90 K. Paramagnetic NMR experiments confirmed a persistence of these magnetic characteristics in solution. Therefore, a straightforward apical functionalization of this 3D molecular platform for its targeted delivery to a given biosystem can be performed without substantial changes.
