Cover illustration: In bis­(ethanol-κO)bis(1-ferrocenyl-4,4,4-tri­fluoro­butane-1,3-dionato-κ2O,O′)nickel(II), the central NiII ion is observed in an octa­hedral coordination environment. The chelating β-diketonate ligands are substituted by ferrocene, a lipophilic organometallic moiety. The introduction of ferrocene in an existing bioactive mol­ecule is a promising tool for the development of new more efficient drugs with innovative mechanisms of action. See: Su, Fu & Xu [IUCrData (2021). 6, x210693].

The crystal structure of the cluster complex [Nb6Cl12(H2O)6]I2 is described. The octa­hedral Nb6 cluster core is coordinated by twelve chlorido and six water ligands. The two iodide ions are not bonded to the cluster unit but are present in the crystal structure as the counter-anion to the cluster cation.
