Transition Metal Compounds with Potential Electronic and Radiation Resistant Properties.
Abstract
Experimental work is reported involving the synthesis, properties, and structural characterisation of many new organometallic compounds. Cage structures containing boron, carbon and platinum are described, as are polynuclear metal clusters involving nickel, platinum and ruthenium. Especially novel discoveries include diplatinacarboranes, and tri- and tetra-nuclear nickel commpounds with bridging acetylene and cyclooctatetraene groups. Studies on the activation of carbon-hydrogen, carbon-carbon, and carbon-halogen bonds using fluorocarbon reactants led to the isolation of numerous metalla-cyclic compounds. The chemistry of sixteen electron molybdenum and tungsten complexes has been explored with particular reference to the activation of acetylenes. A bibliography of thirty three journal articles is appended. (Author)
