An unprecedented dodecanuclear Co III 3 Co II 9 and a dinuclear Co II 2 cluster were synthesized facilely from reactions of different coblt(II) salts with the ligand (1 H ‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)methanol. The cobalt ions in the Co 12 supercluster are linked into a disclike structures through μ 3 ‐O L , μ‐O L , μ 3 ‐O 2– , μ 1,1 ‐N 3 – and μ 1,1,1 ‐N 3 – bridges. Magnetic studies reveal that strong ferromagnetic coupling through double end‐on (EO) azido bridges exists in 1 , while both ferromagnetic coupling through the μ 3 ‐O L and μ‐O L pathways and antiferromagnetc coupling through the μ 1,1,1 ‐N 3 – pathway exist in 2 , which results in a ferrimagnetic behaviour of 2 .
