Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Tomoaki Tanase at Nara Women's University, Japan. The cover image shows the transformation of linear trihydride hexaplatinum complex Pt6H3 to a novel linear triplatinum tetrahydride (Pt3H4) by treatment with HBF4.
Pt3VI could be a useful building block for linearly extended molecular metallic wires connected by hydride bridges…
