Formation of an Ni7(μ3-OH)6(η-OOCBu t )6(μ3-OOCBu t )2(Hdmpz)6 cluster during the thermolysis of binuclear complex Ni2(μ-OOCBu t )4(Hdmpz)2 (Hdmpz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazole)

Abstract

Cluster Ni7(μ3-OH)6(OOCBu t )8(Hdmpz)6 was found to form as a result of the thermal destruction of complex Ni2(μ-OOCBu t )4(Hdmpz)2 at 190°C. The cluster was characterized using X-ray crystallography.
