The box-like cages {M[Cp*Rh(CN)3]4[Mo(CO)3]4}3- form as the sole metal-containing products of the reaction of [Cp*Rh(CN)3]- and (η6-C6H3Me3)Mo(CO)3 in the presence of K+ and Cs+. Well-defined species could not be identified in solutions of Cp*Rh(CN)3 - and (η6-C6H3Me3)Mo(CO)3 in the absence of alkal...
