The reported compound has a unique trapezoidal prismatic topology, resulting from an unexpected in situ click reaction between the MeCN reaction solvent and the N3− ions under mild, room-temperature conditions. Such a click chemistry approach to the preparation of 0-D compounds is relatively unexplored and represents a fruitful strategy for the synthesis of new coordination clusters and molecule-based magnetic materials.5 p.application/pdfeng(c) Abbasi, Parisa et al., 2019IonsMolèculesIonsMoleculesClick chemistry as a route to the synthesis of structurally new and magnetically interesting coordination clusters: a {NiII8} complex with a trapezoidal prismatic topologyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6935412020-11-29info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
