Reactions of ruthenium and osmium cluster carbonyls with heteroatom-substituted and functionalized alkynes

Abstract

The results of studies of the reactions of ruthenium and osmium cluster carbonyls with metal alkynes, silylalkynes, propargyl alcohols and their derivatives, diynes, enynes, and ferrocenylacetylene are summarized. Intramolecular rearrangements in the cluster complexes including migrations of carbonyl, hydride, and hydrocarbon ligands as well as the metal core reorganization are considered.
