The acid test: the chemistry of carboxylic acid functionalised {Cr7Ni} rings

Abstract

The synthesis, structures and magnetism of a new nano-scale constructs using carboxylic acid functionalised {Cr7Ni} rings are reported. Well-established carboxylate chemistry is used to synthesise of spectacular assemblies including a {Zn4O} tetrahedron surrounded by an octahedron of {Cr7Ni} rings.
