text: Homoleptic carboxylate complexes are usually coordination polymers. But exceptions exist.
  *A molecular monocarboxylate is silver acetate, Ag(OAc).
  *Molecular diacetates are more common. Several diacetates adopt the Chinese lantern structure. Well studied examples include the dimetal tetraacetates (M(OAc)) including rhodium(II) acetate, copper(II) acetate, molybdenum(II) acetate, and chromium(II) acetate. Platinum diacetate and palladium diacetate feature Pt and Pd cores, further illustrating the tendency of acetate ligands to stabilize multimetallic structures.
  *Mononuclear triacetates include derivatives of 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid, which have the formula [M(OCCH)] (M = Co, Ni, Zn).
