The lack of any homometallic (or 3d-4f) Ni clusters is surprising, particularly due their potentially appealing magnetic properties. Perhaps it is even more surprising that there are no homometallic/heterometallic clusters of Ni with H4TBC [4], both highlighting glaring omissions in the literature. A systematic exploration of Ni-based clusters with both H4TBC [4] and H8TBC [8] is required across a range of experimental conditions to map out the associated coordination chemistry of these systems.
