The unusual cluster [Pt 6 (CO) 6 ( μ ‐P t Bu 2 ) 4 ](CF 3 SO 3 ) 2 ( 1 ) has a tetrahedral Pt 4 core, two opposite edges of which are bridged by two other platinum atoms (see picture). Complex 1 is remarkably stable and can be regioselectively functionalized at the two apical sites. Its reaction with NaBH 4 affords the first platinum formyl complex: [Pt 6 (CO) 4 (CHO) 2 ( μ ‐P t Bu 2 ) 4 ].
