High hydride count rhodium octahedra, [Rh6(PR3)6H12][BArF4]2: synthesis, structures, and reversible hydrogen uptake under mild conditions.
A new class of transition metal cluster is described, [Rh(6)(PR(3))(6)H(12)][BAr(F)(4)](2) (R = (i)Pr (1a), Cy (2a); BAr(F)(4) = [B{C(6)H(3)(CF(3))(2)}(4)](-)). These clusters are unique in that they have structures exactly like those of early transition metal clusters with edge-bridging pi-donor li...
