Heteronuclear Metal Cluster Compounds Synthesis and Reactivity

Abstract

This Final Report describes the synthesis and characterisation of compounds containing metal-metal bonds between dissimilar transition elements. The new compounds reported included species with chains or rings of metal atoms, involving tungsten or molybdenum bonded to the elements nickel, platinum, rhodium, or iridium. The Report also describes numerous mixed-metal compounds in which the metal-metal bonds are bridged by the carbaborane group C2B9H9R2 (R = H or Me). A variety of unprecedented molecular structures have been identified by X-ray crystallographic studies. Keywords: Cluster compounds of platinum, Nickel, Molybdenum, Tungsten, Rhodium, Iridium, Iron, Ruthenium, Gold.
