A discrete seesaw-like Ni14 cluster is assembled from two sandwich-like Ni4-(TC4A)2 SBUs and two shuttlecock-like Ni3-(TC4A) SBUs (H4TC4A = p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene) with two imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (H3IDC) ligands. The substitution of active coordinated chloride anions with isophthalic acid derivatives leads to four new compounds with similar cluster structures.
