Six C 2 B 4 carborane cages surround the central region of cluster 1 , which has approximate C 3 symmetry. Six Li atoms make up a trigonal prism here viewed from the top; solid spheres represent atoms of the upper Li 3 plane, dotted spheres the (lower). Three Gd atoms (ellipses) cap the rectangular prism faces. In the center of the cluster is a μ‐bridged O atom.
