Solution behavior and magnetic properties of a novel nonanuclear copper(ii) cluster

A {Cu9} nanocluster was constructed from a new multidentate pyrazole–alcohol ligand and various small sterically-hindering anions. The ESI-MS was for the first time applied to Cu cluster chemistry to detect the solution behaviour and possible assembly mechanism of the {Cu9} cluster. The cluster also exhibited antiferromagnetic behaviour.
