title: A heteropentanuclear metal string complex [Mo2NiMo2(tpda)4(NCS)2] with two linearly aligned quadruply bonded Mo2units connected by a Ni ion and a meso configuration of the complex.
abstract: A dimeric molybdenum precursor and nickel ions are used to synthesize a symmetric heteropentanuclear complex, [Mo2NiMo2(tpda)4(NCS)2]. This complex possesses unique structural features, as the four ligands are coordinated to the metal framework in a meso configuration. Furthermore, the central Ni2+ion is in a high spin state.
