Abstract

A direct and high‐yield synthetic route for a novel dodecanuclear osmium‐rhodium mixed‐metal cluster is presented. The redox properties of the cluster were examined, and it was found that the anion behaves as an “electron reservoir”. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
