A Reversible NO Triggered Multiple Metallaborane Cluster Fusion by Ligand Expulsion/Addition from (PMe 2 Ph) 4 Pt 2 B 10 H 10 to Afford (PMe 2 Ph) 8 Pt 8 B 40 H 40 and (PMe 2 Ph) 5 Pt 4 B 20 H 20
Lighting up the night sky, our new octaplatinaborane {Pt 8 B 40 cluster A further contribution from the working group Interactions of Inorganic Clusters, Cages, and Containers with Light within the AV 21 Strategy, Czech Academy of Sciences The eight platinum atoms self organise into a geometry similar to the Hercules Constellation Simply stellar chemistry! These metallaborane assemblies show interesting interaction with small molecules, such as nitric oxide a biologically important species
