title: A 'metallic tape' stabilized by an unprecedented (mu5-kappa2,kappa2,kappa2,kappa1,kappa1-) scorpionate binding mode.
abstract: The Janus scorpionate ligand, tris(mercaptothiadiazolyl)borate, exhibits extraordinary coordination capacity and versatility, binding from two up to five metal cations as demonstrated by its thallium(i) salt, a compound that serves as a model for metal-surface binding.
