Abstract

The solvothermal reaction between Cr(acac)₃, MCl₂·6H₂O (M = Ni, Co) and 2-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-phenyl-pyridine-3-amidoxime (H₂L), under basic conditions, led to the synthesis of the heterometallic heptanuclear clusters [MCr(HL_zw)₆(HL)₆]·3Cl (M = Ni, 1; Co, 2), with the nickel analogue displaying an S = 9/2 spin ground-state.
