Direct synthesis and crystal structure of a new pentanuclear heterotrimetallic Cu/Co/Ni complex with 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol. Discussion of possible “butterfly-like” molecular structure types†
Abstract
The pentanuclear heterotrimetallic complex [Cu2CoNi2(Me2Ea)6Cl4] (1) has been prepared in a one-pot reaction of zerovalent copper with cobalt and nickel chlorides in an acetonitrile solution of
