title: A six-bladed impeller-like Cu18 nanocluster with S6 symmetry constructed from simple inorganic linkers.
abstract: Eighteen Cu(II) ions are consolidated by simple inorganic linkers alone to construct an S(6)-symmetric six-bladed impeller-like Cu(18) nanocluster driven by the concomitant decomposition reaction of a Schiff base, which affords a typical high-nuclearity inorganic cluster and a representative synthetic strategy. The magnetic measurements reveal dominant antiferromagnetic interaction in this cluster.
