Abstract
An overview of the work performed at the University of Turin in the last 25 years on the reactivity of Ru3(CO)12 with alkynes and related reactions is given. An outline of the history of the beginning of this chemistry and of its developments (seen under a personal point of view) is followed by attempts at drawing some general conclusions and making come comments on the present state-of-the-art in different field of this research. Our results are compared with those of several other researchers working on the same chemistry. An outline of the potentiality of ruthenium-based clusters as models of intermediates in organic syntheses and in homogeneous catalysis is also given.
