Abstract
Abstract Syntheses of mixed transition metal clusters containing cobalt and their catalytic activities for homologation of methanol were investigated. The reaction of RuCl3 with Na[Co(CO)4] gave a reddish brown complex Na [RuCo3(CO)12]. The cluster easily underwent a cation exchange to give the Cs+ and [Et4N]+ salts. These clusters showed a remarkable catalytic activity for homologation of methanol. The selectivity of ethanol was increased up to 51% in ca. 40% conversion in case of [Et4N]+ salt. Catalytic activities of some other mixed metal clusters were also examined.
