Cutting Corners : Elaborate triangular arrays of Mn ions are stabilized by the tripodal ligand 1,1,1‐tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane. The self‐assembled {Mn 32 } truncated cube (see picture) is further stabilized by end‐on‐bridging azide ligands and acetate groups. Such stabilization could prove to be useful in the preparation of single‐molecule magnets.
