Synthesis of Triangular and Tetrahedral Heteronuclear Metal Clusters Using Hydride Complexes of Cyclopentadienylrhodium and -ruthenium as the Precursors

Abstract

Photochemical and/or thermal reactions of Cp*Rh(H)2(SiEt3)2 (Cp* = η5-C5Me5) with the dimeric metal complexes [CpNi(CO)]2 (Cp = η5-C5H5), [CpCo(NO)]2, [CpRu(CO)2]2, and [CpFe(CO)2]2 yielded the tri...
