Using EPR to follow reversible dihydrogen addition to paramagnetic clusters of high hydride count: [Rh(6)(PCy(3))(6)H(12)](+) and [Rh(6)(PCy(3))(6)H(14)](+).

A combined structural/EPR/computational chemistry investigation is reported on the two paramagnetic hydrido-cluster salts [Rh(6)(PCy(3))(6)H(12)][BAr(F)(4)] and [Rh(6)(PCy(3))(6)H(14)][BAr(F)(4)], the latter being formed by reversible addition of H(2) to the former, [BAr(F)(4)](-) = [B{C(6)H(3)(CF(3...
