Syntheses of pentanuclear group 6 iridium clusters by core expansion of tetranuclear clusters with Ir(CO) 2 (η 5 -C 5 Me 4 R) (R = H, Me)

Abstract

Metal cluster core expansion at tetrahedral group 6-group 9 mixed-metal clusters MIr3(μ-CO)3(CO)8(η5- L) (M = W, Mo, L = C5H5; M = Mo, L = C5Me 5) with the iridium capping reagents Ir(CO)2(η 5-L′) (L′ = C5Me5, C 5Me4H) in refluxing toluene afforded Show more
