Abstract
Contrary to what was earlier believed, the phase-transfer-catalyzed reaction of Fe-3(CO)(12) with OH- affords the radical anion cluster [Fe-3(CO)(11)](.-) and not [HFe3(CO)(11)](-). When a nitro compound is also present, it is the radical anion that is mainly responsible for its reduction to aniline, not the hydride cluster, which is completely unreactive under the same experimental conditions.
