Entrapment of molecules within carbon nanotubes allows investigation of their redox properties in confinement, leading to materials with high electrochemical activity and durability, and with their electrochemical properties at nanoscale still to be fully understood.

Electrochemical properties of tetrahedral clusters [H2Ru2Rh2(CO)12], [HRuRh3(CO)12] and [Rh4(CO)12] were investigated in order to evaluate the influence of metal core composition in the series [H4-xRu4-xRhx(CO)12] (x = 0-4). The cluster [H3Ru3Rh(CO)12] was not available in sufficient quantities. As reported for [H4Ru4(CO)12], electrochemical reduction of the hydride-containing clusters [H2Ru2Rh2(CO)12] and [HRuRh3(CO)12] also results in (stepwise) loss of hydrogen, producing the anions [HRu2Rh2(CO)12]-, [Ru2Rh2(CO)12]2- and [RuRh3(CO)12]-. These anions can also be prepared from the neutral parent clusters via chemical routes. Electrochemical reduction of [Rh4(CO)12] does not result in the formation of any stable tetranuclear anion. Instead, [Rh5(CO)15]- and [Rh6(CO)15]2- are the major reduction products detected in the course of IR spectroelectrochemical experiments. Most likely, these cluster species are formed from the secondary CO-loss product [Rh4(CO)11]2- by fast redox condensation reactions. Their reoxidation regenerates parent [Rh4(CO)12], together with some [Rh6(CO)16]. Unlike [H4Ru4(CO)12] that undergoes photochemical CO-dissociation, [H2Ru2Rh2(CO)12] and [Rh4(CO)12] are completely photostable in neat hexane and dichloromethane as well as in the presence of oct-1-ene.
