title: A new Ni12 cluster based on polyoxometalate ligands.
abstract: A new Ni(12) cluster based on polyoxometalate ligands [Ni(12)(OH)(9)WO(4)(W(7)O(26)(OH))(PW(9)O(34))(3)](25-) (1) has been assembled in aqueous solution containing [PW(9)O(34)](9-), WO(4)(2-), and NiCl(2) x 6 H(2)O. The Ni(12) core in 1 shows a unique three-petal flower-shaped structure composed of three Ni(4) cubane units. Magnetic investigation indicates the presence of dominantly ferromagnetic interactions within the Ni(12) core.
