Clusters <strong>2–5</strong> are isomorphous to the homo-metallic [Fe<small><sub>9</sub></small>] cluster (<strong>1</strong>) previously reported by some of us, and also isostructural to the known homo-metallic [Ni<small><sub>9</sub></small>] cluster. All four clusters contain a central M<small><sup>II</sup></small> ion in an unusual 8-coordinate site and eight peripheral M<small><sup>II</sup></small> ions in distorted octahedral environments. The distribution of Fe<small><sup>II</sup></small> and Ni<small><sup>II</sup></small> ions over these two distinct coordination sites in <strong>2–5</strong> can be established through a combination of X-ray fluorescence and Mössbauer spectroscopies, which show that Fe<small><sup>II</sup></small> preferentially occupies the unique 8-coordinate metal site while Ni<small><sup>II</sup></small> accumulates in the octahedral holes. Density functional theory indicates that the distribution of ions across the two sites arises not from any intrinsic preference of the Fe<small><sup>II</sup></small> ions for the 8-coordinate sites, but rather because of the large ligand field stabilization energy available to Ni<small><sup>II</sup></small> in octahedral coordination.</p> |
