In last years the cage-like architectures of Ge- and Si-metallacomplexes demonstrate unusual magnetic properties [1] and high catalytic activity [2], hereupon many scientific teams are focused in this researching area [3]. Moreover, these cage compounds could be used as building blocks to construct various extended molecule-based networks [4]. By using different chemical agents [5], we can control cage synthesis, resulting in isolation of molecular clusters or coordination polymers. For example, Figure 1 shows an unusual high nuclear Cu8- silsesquioxane, representing sodium acetate’ encapsulation providing unique linking of cages [6].
