Supertetrahedral decametallic Ni(ii) clusters directed by μ6-tris-alkoxides†
Abstract
We report the syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of two decametallic Ni(II) clusters with unprecedented supertetrahedral cores, stabilised by the (hitherto unobserved) μ6-coordination modes of the tris-alkoxides {MeC(CH2O)3}3− and {C6H9O3}3−.
