Holding onto Lots of Hydrogen:A 12-Hydride Rhodium Cluster That Reversibly Adds Two Molecules of H_2

摘要

The boundary between catalysis by nanocluster and molecular materials is an area of science that is attracting considerable attention.Much of this interest has centered on the role that such species play in hydrogenation reactions (especially arene hydrogenation),and in particular the nature of the actual species in catalysis (nanocluster versus molecular cluster).
