We report the syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of two decametallic Ni(II) clusters with unprecedented supertetrahedral cores, stabilised by the (hitherto unobserved) micro(6)-coordination modes of the tris-alkoxides [MeC(CH(2)O)(3)](3-) and [C(6)H(9)O(3)](3-).

A family of planar disc-like hexa-, octa- and decametallic Ni(II) complexes exhibit dominant ferromagnetic exchange. The deca- and octametallic clusters [Ni(II) (10)(tmp)(2)(N(3))(8)(acac)(6)(MeOH)(6)] (1, H(3)tmp=1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)propane; acac=acetylacetonate) and [Ni(II) (8)(thme)(2)(O(2)CPh)(4)(Cl)(6)(MeCN)(6)(H(2)O)(2)] (2, H(3)thme=1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane) represent rare examples of Ni(II)-based single-molecule magnets, and [Ni(II) (10)] (1) possesses the largest barrier to magnetisation reversal of any Ni(II) single-molecule magnet to date.
