A synthetic approach to synthesize the cationic trinuclear cluster with [Co₃(μ₃‐O)(μ‐OH)] core has been reported. A comparative study with the closely relevant polynuclear cluster containing [Co₄(μ₃‐O)₄] active core has also been carried out along with a plausible pathway for these two clusters. The minor spectroscopic and electrochemical changes observed for the cores are quite significant to distinguish them. The rigidity of the core can be well characterized by the solvent interaction. The involvement of the hydroxo group in the electrochemical process may help these clusters to be used for catalytic processes, although these [Co₃(μ₃‐O)(μ‐OH)] cationic clusters are thermally less stable than [Co₄(μ₃‐O)₄] cuboidal clusters.

[辅酶A合成方法来合成阳离子三核簇与₃（μ ₃ -O）（ - OHμ）]已经报道芯。用含有密切相关的多核簇的比较研究[CO ₄（μ ₃ -O）₄ ]活性芯还与这两个聚类的合理途径一起执行。观察到的纤芯的微小光谱和电化学变化对于区分它们是非常重要的。芯的刚性可以通过溶剂相互作用很好地表征。的羟基的在电化学过程中的参与可能有助于这些集群将被用于催化过程，尽管这些[CO ₃（μ ₃-O）（μ-OH）]阳离子簇比[CO稳定热少₄（μ ₃ -O）₄ ]立方形簇。
