[Bi6Mo3(CO)9]4−: a multiple local σ-aromatic cluster containing a distorted Bi6 triangular prism†
Abstract
The first Zintl cluster containing a distorted Bi6 triangular prism, [Bi6Mo3(CO)9]4−, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Quantum chemical calculations indicated that the distorted cage cluster features multiple local σ-aromaticity.
