[Rh(7)(PiPr(3))(6)H(18)][BAr(F) (4)](2): a molecular Rh(111) surface decorated with 18 hydrogen atoms.

Heptarhodium wagon wheel [Rh7(PiPr3) 6H18][BArF4]2 (shown), which resembles a planar Rh(111) surface with 18 hydride ligands, was obtained together with [Rh8(PiPr3)6H16] [BArF4]2 from the reaction of [Rh(PiPr 3)2(nbd)][BArF4] and [Rh(nbd) 2][BArF4] with hydrogen (ArF = C6H3(CF3)2, nbd = norbornadien...
