Abstract

We report the reversible polymorphic phase transition of [Ni6(PET)12] (PET = phenylethanethiol) and its effect on the conductivity. This cluster's self-assembly leads to two polymorphic structures with distinct conductivity, caused by variation of the non-covalent S⋯S interactions. These results enlighten the effect of non-covalent interactions on conductivity.
