title: Nickel/lanthanide single-molecule magnets: {Ni(3)Ln} "stars" with a ligand derived from the metal-promoted reduction of di-2-pyridyl ketone under solvothermal conditions.
abstract: Unusual {Ni(II)(3)Ln(III)(μ-OR)(6)}(3+) complexes with a "star" topology have been prepared with ligands derived from the metal-promoted reduction of di-2-pyridyl ketone under solvothermal conditions; the Dy(III) member shows weak single-molecule-magnet behavior.
