title: A hydride-rich magnesium cluster.
abstract: High-de-hydride! A straightforward reaction between a magnesium silylamido/N-heterocyclic carbene adduct and phenylsilane provides a {Mg(4)H(6)} cluster molecule that may be regarded as a combination of two magnesium dihydride and two magnesium monohydride moieties.
