Description
Summary:Joining the cubes: The linking of lithium {Li4O4} cubanes by the bifunctional organometalloligand [(η4‐quinone)Rh(cod)]− (cod=cyclooctadiene) results in an unprecedented doubly bridged motif. The dimeric assembly features cubane units that are connected by a transition‐metal complex and that incorporate a quinone oxygen atom at one of the corners.
