Superclusters: A Host-Guest Complex with a Cyclic Array of Three Bridged MoFe3S4 Clusters

Three reversible reductions are observed for a new cyclic tricubane cluster. In the solid state, the cluster displays a large, electron‐rich pocket containing an encapsulated Et4N+ ion (see structure). These characteristics might allow the use of this cluster as a multielectron reducing agent.
