SPECTROSCOPIC TITRATION OF [RE-4(MU(3)-H)(4)(CO)(12)] WITH CHLORIDE-IONS - AN ELECTRON-PRECISE TETRANUCLEAR CLUSTER AS INTERMEDIATE IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF A TETRANUCLEAR UNSATURATED CLUSTER INTO TRINUCLEAR UNSATURATED ANIONS

The unsaturated tetrahedral cluster [Re-4(mu(3)-H)(4)(CO)(12)] easily
added halide ions giving [Re(4)H(4)X(CO)(12)](-) anions, which in the
presence of even poor donor species underwent fragmentation to unsatur
ated triangular cluster anions.
