Abstract

A compound originally prepared by Alfred Werner but structurally misassigned has been shown by three independent X-ray structural analyses to be a hexanuclear species which can now be regarded as Werner's second hexol, his first being that famous for being the first non-carbon containing species to be optically resolved.
