A full-metal hollow cage cluster Nb12+ niobespherene resistant to CO attack - EurekAlert
In a paper published in National Science Review, a CO-tolerant niobium cluster Nb12+ was discovered by reacting Nbn+ with CO in a well-designed flow tube reactor. The origin of chemical inertness of Nb12+, named as “niobespherene”, is unveiled by unique super…
