Abstract

A fully symmetrical osmium tetrahedron consisting of twenty cubic-close-packed metal atoms constitutes the framework of dianion 1. There is no evidence for interstitial carbon or hydrogen atoms in the framework. Moreover, the OsOs distances approach those of elemental osmium. Cyclovoltammetric measurements indicate that 1 exhibits interesting electrochemical properties (see also the Highlight on p. 72).
