Big can be small : The largest ligand‐stabilized magnesium hydride cluster, containing 8 Mg 2+ and 10 H − ions, is a model for the smallest sub‐nanometer‐sized hydrogen storage material. This molecular cluster displays magnetic hydride–hydride coupling (see picture) and complete hydrogen desorption at the record‐low temperature of 200 °C.
