Well-defined molecular polyhydrides composed of two substantially different types of metals — such as rare-earth and d transition metals — are interesting both in terms of structure and potential properties, but have been largely unexplored so far. Now, a series of such hydride clusters are reported and are found to exhibit unprecedented structural features as well as unique hydrogen addition and release properties.
