title: Regular high-nuclearity species from square building blocks: a triangular 3 × [2 × 2] Ni12 complex generated by the self-assembly of three [2 × 2] Ni4 molecular grids.
abstract: A dodecanuclear 3 × [2 × 2] nickel(II) complex has been obtained via the self-association of three tetranuclear [2 × 2] molecular grids. X-ray diffraction shows a "propeller-like" structure of the [Ni(4)](3) scaffold with a central μ(3)-hydroxide. The dodecanuclear species remains stable in solution and can be deposited without decomposition on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite surfaces.
