HCo 3 (CO) 9(3) is the first isolable hydrido‐carbonyl cluster , which can be obtained using HCo(CO) 4 (1) as starting compound. The trinuclear, electronically unsaturated cluster is formed by thermal decomposition of (1) together with the expected Co 2 (CO) 8 (2) . Lower nuclear clusters such as (3) are discussed as catalysts, e.g. in homogeneous hydroformylation or CO reduction.
