In coordination chemistry, the Das cubane is a transition metal carboxylate complex with the formula [CoO(OAc)py]₄ where OAc is acetate and py is pyridine. The compound is named after Birinchi K. Das, who led the team that discovered the cluster. The compound features of Co₄O₄ core. Each Co(III) center is low-spin and has octahedral geometry. The compound is prepared by mixing a cobalt(II) salt with acetate and pyridine followed by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide.[1]
