title: A one-pot synthesis of a paramagnetic high-nuclearity nickel(II) cluster: an octadecanuclear Ni(II)16Na(I)2 metal aggregate.
abstract: An unusual Ni(II)(16)Na(I)(2) cluster which features formate as a bridging clamp between two octanuclear nickel cages is reported; preliminary magnetic studies exhibit paramagnetic low-lying states resulting from dominating antiferromagnetic interactions between the nickel(II) centers.
