Abstract

The homohexanuclear complexes [Ni2{Ni(L1)}4](BF4)4·MeCN, 1, [Pd2{Pd(L2)}4](BF4)4, 2, and the heteropentanuclear aggregate [Cu2{Ni(L3)}3](PF6)2, 3, all adopt a ‘pinwheel’ type structural motif via thiolate bridging between square-planar Ni(II) or Pd(II) and between trigonal planar Cu(I) centres, respectively.
