[(iPr3P)6Rh6H12]2+: a high-hydride content octahedron that bridges the gap between late and early transition metal clusters.

Treatment of [(iPr3P)2Rh(nbd)][Y] {nbd = norbornadiene, Y = B{3,5-(CF3)2C6H3}4- [B(ArF)4] or 1-H-closo-CB11Me11-} with H2 (ca. 4 atm) results in the isolation, in moderate yield, of the octahedral cluster complex [(iPr3P)6Rh6H12][Y]2 1. The cluster (for both anions) has been characterized by NMR, ma...
