Abstract
A reaction between CoCl2 and L3-(CO2-)2 (2 : 1 stoichiometry) in CH3OH affords a discrete complex [CoII4-{L3-(CO2-)2}2(μ3-OCH3)2(CH3OH)2(H2O)2Cl2] (1) [L3-(CO2-)2 = 3-[N-{2-(pyridin-2-yl)methyl}amino]-bis(propionate)]. The structure of 1 reveals two terminal mononuclear CoII{L3-(CO2-)2}Cl units connected by a dimeric CoII2(μ3-OCH3)2(CH3OH)2(H2O) unit present in the centre through two methoxo (μ3-OCH3)- and two carboxylate (μ-1,1-OCO-) bridges affording a tetranuclear coordination cluster of Co(II) with a defective dicubane topology. In 1, Co1 (terminal) has distorted octahedral CoIIN2O3Cl and the central Co2 has CoIIO6 coordination. Such coordination arrangements afford the observed topology. Variable-temperature magnetic studies reveal anti-ferromagnetic coupling in 1. Three magnetic exchange interactions (one anti-ferromagnetic and two ferromagnetic: J1 = +3.3 cm-1 (Co⋯Co 3.176 Å; μ-1,1-OCO- and μ3-OCH3 bridges), J2 = -2.5 cm-1 (Co⋯Co 3.228 Å; μ-1-OCO- and μ3-OCH3 bridges) and J3 = +10.6 cm-1 (Co⋯Co 3.084 Å; two μ3-OCH3 bridges)) have been identified, with the inclusion of the orbital reduction parameter (α = Aκ = 1.38), spin-orbit coupling (λ = -158 cm-1) and axial distortion (energy gap Δ = -975 cm-1 between singlet and doublet levels), rationalized by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

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 relaxation of the magnetization and a diamagnetic ground state (S = 0), providing the unique opportunity of studying the essentially elusive magnetic relaxation behavior in excited states. The cubane-topology dependent activity of {Ni12W30} and {Ni12W27} as homogeneous HER photocatalysts unveils the structural key features significant for the design of photocatalysts with efficient charge utilization exemplified by high quantum yields (QY) of 10.42% and 8.36% for {Ni12W30} and {Ni12W27}, respectively.

Abstract
A full understanding of the assembly mechanisms of coordination complexes is of great importance for a directional synthesis under control. We thus explored here the formation mechanisms of the two new heterometallic nanoclusters [DyIII4NiII8(μ3-OH)8(L)8(OAc)4(H2O)4]·3.25EtOH·4CH3CN (1) and [DyIII10MnIII4MnII2O4(OH)12(OAc)16(L)4(HL)2(EtOH)2]·2EtOH·2CH3CN·2H2O (2) with different cubane-based squarelike ring structures, which were obtained from the reactions of 4-bromo-2-[(2-hydroxypropylimino)methyl]phenol (H2L) with Dy(NO)3·6H2O and the transition metal salt Ni(OAc)2·4H2O or Mn(OAc)2·4H2O. The high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESI-MS) tests showed that the skeletons of clusters 1 and 2 have a high stability under the measurement conditions for HRESI-MS. The intermediates formed in the reaction courses of clusters 1 and 2 were tracked using time-dependent HRESI-MS, which helped to determine the proposed hierarchical assembly mechanisms for 1 (H2L → NiL → Ni2L2 → Ni3L4 → Ni4L4 → DyNi4L5 → Dy2Ni6L6 → Dy3Ni6L6 → Dy3Ni7L7 → Dy4Ni8L8) and 2 (H2L → MnL → DyMnL → DyMn2L → Dy2Mn2Lx → Dy8Mn2L2 → Dy10Mn2L2 → Dy10Mn6Lx and H2L → DyL → Dy4L2 → Dy6L2 → Dy8Mn2L2 → Dy10Mn2L2 → Dy10Mn6Lx). This is one of the rare examples of investigating the assembly mechanisms of 3d-4f heterometallic clusters. Magnetic studies indicated that the title complexes both show slow magnetic relaxation behaviors and cluster 1 is a field-induced single-molecule magnet.
