Synthesis of Mixed Transition Metal Clusters of Osmium and Rhenium via Metal Hydride Coupling Reactions
The metal hydride coupling reaction, which has been used here to produce mixed metal clusters, is dependent upon the HRe(CO)(,5) unit initially serving as a two-electron donor to the lightly stabilized clusters Os(,3)(CO)(,12-x)S(,x) (S = CH(,3)CN, C(,8)H(,14); x = 1 or 2). From this point, all …
