Carbonato- and methanediolato(-2)-bridged nickel(II) coordination clusters from the use of N-salicylidene-4-methyl-o-aminophenol

Novel coordination modes of the carbonato and methanediolato(-2) groups have been observed in {NiII6NaI4} and {NiII6} clusters, respectively, containing tridentate Schiff base-pivalate combinations as primary ligands.80
