Abstract

The reactivity of polynuclear metal complexes involving metal-metal bonds with simple inorganic and organic molecules is considered. The basic structural forms of polynuclear aggregates is reviewed and the fluxional nature of polynuclear carbonyls is surveyed. The use of 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy in determining the mechanism of fluxional interchange within the polynuclear carbonyls of Group VIII elements is described and the variety of pathways for exchange of carbonyl groups on a given metal centre or between different metal centres is established and correlated with the structure of the polynuclear species.
