title: Abnormal coordination of Arduengo's carbene upon reaction with M(3)(CO)(12) (M = Ru, Os).
abstract: The first examples of abnormal coordination of Ardeungo's carbene, 1,3-bis-adamantylimidazol-2-ylidene, have been isolated and structurally characterised following reaction of the free carbene with the trinuclear clusters M(3)(CO)(12) (M = Ru, Os).
