title: Novel rhodium and ruthenium carbonyl cluster complexes with face- and edge-bridging GaCp* ligands. Synthesis and structural characterization of the Rh6(CO)12(mu3-GaCp*)4 and Ru6(eta6-C)(mu2-CO)(CO)13(mu3-GaCp*)2(mu2-GaCp*) clusters.
abstract: Reactions of hexanuclear carbonyl clusters of rhodium Rh(6)(CO)(16) and ruthenium Ru(6)(eta(6)-C)(micro(2)-CO)(CO)(16) with GaCp*(Cp*= C(5)Me(5)) in the mild conditions result in substitution of CO ligands and formation of the Rh(6)(CO)(12)(micro(3)-GaCp*)(4) and the Ru(6)(eta(6)-C)(micro(2)-CO)(CO)(13)(micro(3)-GaCp*)(2)(micro(2)-GaCp*) cluster derivatives.
