[Pd3(InCp*)4(μ2‐InCp*)4]: Three Linearly Arranged Palladium Atoms Wrapped into a Fluxional Shell of Eight InCp* Ligands

There is still much to discover: The assumption that monovalent Group 13 organometallic compounds exhibit a high potential as ligands in organometallic chemistry beyond their analogy to CO is confirmed by the synthesis of the title compound 1. Complex 1, the structure of which is unique and has no analogue in carbonyl cluster chemistry, is prepared by reaction of [(tmeda)Pd(CH3)2] with [InCp*]. tmeda=N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine, Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadienide.
