Cagelike sil-[1] and germsesquioxanes [2] are objects of research of many scientific teams worldwide. Kaleidoscopic variety of sesquioxane (REO1.5, E = Si or Ge) ligands – from monomeric to condensed polycyclic – provides a wide number of metallacomplexes, including polynuclear heterometallic ones. Additional opportunities metallasesquioxane design is due to easiness of application of additional organic (N,N-, P,P-, N,O-, O,O-) ligands [3]. Metallasesquioxanes’ functionalities include important catalytic [4], magnetic [5], and photophysical [6] properties. Presentation will discuss recent results of our group in design of cagelike metallasesquioxanes as well as their homogeneous catalytic activities, magnetic (spin glass and SMM) effects and temperature sensing.
