A Dicubane-Like Tetrameric Nickel(II) Azido Complex.
A combination of azido and dipyridylketone (dpk) ligands led to the isolation of the tetranuclear Ni(II) complex 1 (dpkOH and dpkOCH(3) result from solvolysis of dpk). The complex exhibits ferromagnetic behavior, and its structure can be described as a dicubane unit with two missing vertices (see picture).
