title: Cubane and dicubane complexes stabilised by sterically demanding m-terphenyl ligands.
abstract: The reaction between sterically demanding m-terphenyl lithiate complexes and cadmium dihalides yields unusual cubanes where changes in ligand bulk afford different formulations, in particular a rare heterodicubane structure.
