title: Clear evidence of electron delocalization: synthesis, structure, magnetism, EPR and DFT calculation of the asymmetric hexanickel string complex containing a single mixed-valence (Ni(2))(3+) unit.
abstract: This paper describes the physical properties of the (Ni(2))(3+) mixed-valence unit that is an excellent conductivity-enhanced tool for metal string complexes.
