Abstract: The title complex, [Co₄(CH₃O)₄L₄(CH₄O)₄] (LH = 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, C₇H₆O₂), has a cubane-type structural topology with four Co atoms and four O atoms, each derived from MeO^-, at alternate corners. Each Co atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry defined by three bridging O atoms, two O atoms from chelating L, and one O atom from a methanol molecule.
