X-ray diffraction shows a "propeller-like" structure of the [Ni-4](3) scaffold with a central mu(3)-hydroxide. The dodecanuclear species remains stable in solution and can be deposited without decomposition on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite surfaces.Regular High-Nuclearity Species from Square Building Blocks: A Triangular 3 x [2 x 2] Ni-12 Complex Generated by the Self-assembly of Three [2 x 2] Ni-4 Molecular Gridsjournal_article10.1021/ic300902z22765646000306381800005
