A tetra-nuclear nickel(II) complex, [Ni₄(L)₄](ClO₄)₄·C₂H₃N·2H₂O, with an asymmetric Ni₄O₄ open-cubane-like core.

ABSTRACT: A tetra-nuclear complex with an open-cubane-like core structure was synthesized from 2-meth-oxy-6-(pyridin-2-yl-hydrazonometh-yl)phenol (HL), namely, cyclo-tetra-kis-(μ-2-meth-oxy-6-{[2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazin-1-yl-idene]meth-yl}pheno-lato)tetra-nickel(II) tetra-kis-(perchlorate) aceto-nitrile monosolvate dihydrate, [Ni₄(C₁₃H₁₂N₃O₂)₄](ClO₄)₄·C₂H₃N·2H₂O, and characterized using micro-analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The crystal-structure determination reveals the formation of a distorted Ni₄O₄ cubane-like core architecture encapsulated by four hydrazone Schiff base (HL) mol-ecules. A open-cube tetra-nuclear architecture is
