N2 - The elucidation of the crystal structure of one isomer of the mixed metal boride [HFe4(CO)12{AuPEt3)2B] illustrates that the geometry of the hexametal atom core and the location of the endo-hydrogen atom depend upon the steric, rather than electronic, requirements of the gold(I) phosphine substituents. Electronic effects, however, are responsible for the AuPR3 fragment interacting with Fe-B rather than Fe-Fe bonds of the core cluster.
