T. Beringhelli et G. Dalfonso, EASILY REVERSIBLE IONIC FRAGMENTATION OF A TETRAHEDRAL UNSATURATED RHENIUM CLUSTER, A REAPPRAISAL OF THE REACTION OF [RE-4(MU(3)-H)(4)(CO)(12)] WITH METHANOL, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (22), 1994, pp. 2631-2632
The unsaturated tetrahedral cluster [Re-4(mu(3)-H)(4)(CO)(12)] in the
presence of weak donor molecules L, like methanol or acetone, reversib
ly fragments to unsaturated triangular cluster anions and to mononucle
ar cations, probably via spiked-triangular [Re-4(mu-H)(4)(CO)(12)L(4)]
intermediates.
