title: How many hydrogen atoms can be bound to a metal? Predicted MH12 species.
abstract: Quantum chemical calculations predict the existence of new molecular species with general formula MH12, where M is a group 6 atom. The previous MHn species had n values up to 9. The new systems with n = 12 would be a new record for metal hydrides.
