Ni₁₂ tetracubane cores with slow relaxation of magnetization and efficient charge utilization for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

ABSTRACT: We report two Ni₁₂ multicubane topologies enclosed in the polyanions [Ni₁₂(OH)₉(WO₄)₃(PO₄)(B-α-PW₉O₃₄)₃]^21-{Ni₁₂W₃₀} and [Ni₁₂(OH)₉(HPO₄)₃(PO₄)(B-α-PW₉O₃₄)(A-α-PW₉O₃₄)₂]^21-{Ni₁₂W₂₇} that magnetically behave as Ni₁₂ units clearly distinguishing them from typical Ni₄ cubanes as shown by magnetic studies together with high field and frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (HFEPR). Beyond the unprecedented static properties, {Ni₁₂W₃₀} shows the unusual coexistence of slow relaxa
