Recent developments in the chemistry of homo-and heterometallic clusters of Iron, Cobalt
and Nickel triads substituted with alkynes and related ligands are examined. New synthetic …

An overview of the work performed at the University of Turin in the last 25 years on the
reactivity of Ru 3 (CO) 12 with alkynes and related reactions is given. An outline of the …

A ruthenium complex [triruthenium dodecacarbonyl, Ru3 (CO) 12] in the presence of bis
(triphenylphosphine) iminium chloride ([PPN] Cl) catalyzes the conjugate addition of …

Alkyne-substituted tri-and polynuclear clusters have been known for a long time. Among
these, the derivatives with acetylene substituents coordinated parallel to one edge of a …

Introduction The butterfly cluster framework has attracted considerable interest in recent
years, 1 a direct consequence of both its structural and electronic versatility. 2 This has …

Several complexes have been obtained from reactions between Ru 3 (μ-dppm)(CO) 10 and
C 2 (CO 2 Me) 2, including Ru 3 {μ 3-C 2 (CO 2 Me) 2}(μ-dppm)(μ-CO)(CO) 7 (7), Ru 3 {μ 3 …

The present paper deals with a rational attempt to achieve the hydroformylation of
diphenylacetylene onto a hydrido triruthenium cluster complex incorporating the 2 …

H) 2 (HC= CH), which is further hydrogenated at 3 atm to give Ru3 (CO) 9 (mH) 3CCH3. Ru3
(CO) 9 (m-CO)(C2H2) is stereochemically nonrigid: a low-energy process averages, on the …

The methanol-catalyzed elimination of Cl-from the “activated” anionic species [PPN][Ru3 (μ-
Cl)(μ-PhCCPh)(CO) 9](1) in the presence of bis (diphenylphosphino) methane (dppm) …

Alkoxycarbonylation of alkene has been an important basis in modern chemical industry. As
the cheapest noble metal, the potential of ruthenium furnishes significant innovations in the …
