The bis-molybdenum(0) trianion [1,3,6-{Mo(CO)3}-3,6-((mu)-H)2-1,1,1-(CO)3-2-Ph-closo-1,2-MoCB9H7]3– and its use as a scaffold in the assembly of heteropolymetallic complexes

The title trianion reacts successively with cationic transition-metal fragments to afford a heterotrimetallic Mn–Mo–Pt species.
