Two Linear Undecanickel Mixed‐Valence Complexes: Increasing the Size and the Scope of the Electronic Properties of Nickel Metal Strings

Abstract

Nickel′s eleven: A metal chain consisting of four dinuclear mixed-valent Ni23+ units linked together by three square-planar Ni2+ units has been prepared (see picture of the real molecular model in the lobby of the chemistry building at National Taiwan University). The electronic and magnetic properties of this linear complex containing 11 nickel atoms are reported. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”. Such documents are peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or typeset. They are made available as submitted by the authors.
