title: Initial employment of di-2-pyridyl ketone as a route to nickel(II)/lanthanide(III) clusters: triangular Ni(2)Ln complexes.
abstract: Using monoanionic forms of di-2-pyridyl ketone as the only primary ligand, triangular Ni(2)M (M = lanthanide, Y) complexes with interesting magnetic properties have been synthesized.
