Nickel Ion Induced Multistage Assembly of Th₁₃ Cluster.

ABSTRACT: Clusters have proven useful models to elucidate the correlation between macroscopic properties and microstructures. However, the actinide clusters still remain much less developed compared to the splendid and systematic works of other members of this family. Here we show the synthesis of a tetra-shell mixed-metal cluster [ThO₈@Th₁₂(OH)₂₄@Ni₆(H₂O)₁₈@(sba)₁₂] (IHEP-25, H₂sba: 2-sulfobenzoic acid) with the strategic introduction of competitive Ni²⁺ ions. A cluster-based framework (IHEP-28), featuring a 2D honeycomb network and demonstrating excellent stability, has been constructed through the multistage assembly of IHEP-25, facilitated by the introduction of cationic cluster [Na₄(OH)
