The first examples of ternary rare‐earth transition‐metal polyhydride clusters (such as depicted) are reported by F. R. Wagner, R. Kempe, and T. Bauer in their Communication on page 8732 ff. Cluster formation proceeds through CH bond activation of the Cp ligands that stabilize the transition‐metal‐containing starting material. Analysis of the electronic structure of the polyhydride cluster compounds revealed covalent ReLu bonding and ionic transition metal hydride–Lu interactions.
