Abstract

The hexanuclear osmium–rhodium carbonyl carbide cluster [ Os 5 Rh( μ 5 -C)( μ 3 -CO)( CO) 13 Cp ∗] 3 has been synthesized in 66% yield by the ionic coupling reaction of [N(PPh 3) 2] 2[Os 5C(CO) 14] 1 with [ Rh 2( Cp ∗) 2][ BF 4] 2 2. An X-ray analysis on 3 showed a square based pyramidal metal skeleton with a μ 3-CO bridging a RhOs 2 triangular face.
