title: Unusual C-S bond cleavage in hydro(solvo)thermal reaction that induces two novel nickel thiolates: the crown [Ni16(edt)8S9(S2)]4- with an unprecedented 12-membered ring system and the cagelike [Ni13(edt)8S4(S2)2]2- with two distorted cores.
abstract: Complex 1 exhibits the crownlike structure with the unprecedented 12-membered ring system, while in 2, a cagelike cluster has been connected with two distorted cores in nickel thiolates. The synthesis of novel clusters by way of C-S bond cleavage was first reported in the field of nickel thiolates.
