Connect new mac Mini to old iMac

So can I use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter to connect a new Mac Mini with a 2012 iMac I want to use as a monitor? I just need to add a short connector cord between the Thunderbolt port on the iMac and the female port on this adapter? Thanks.

iMac 27″, OS X 10.11

Not if its the 2020 M1 Mac mini. The Intel Mac mini will work because it's a 2018 model.

Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support

"You can connect any of these older iMac models to another Mac from 2019 or earlier for use as an external display."
