Using the basic building block Pt3(CO)3(p-CO)3, allows the construction of several carbonyl clusters [Pt (CO)2 ] with an increasing number of platinum atoms, n = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 [22,23]. The structures of these species have been established using the intensities of the satellite lines according to the previously described method (see Section 2.3). 

Metal triangles, tetrahedra, and octahedra form the basic building blocks of transition metal carbonyl clusters. The smaller clusters with between three and six metal atoms often adopt these pseudo-spherical deltahedral geometries, but as the nucle-arity of the cluster increases, condensed structures, built up from the smaller poly-hedra by vertex-, edge-, or face-sharing, tend to be favored in preference to the larger spherical deltahedra based on the Platonic and Archimedean solids. In general, this is in contrast to the structures foimd in borane chemistry.

Mononuclear Fe(CO)3 (R-DAB) is again formed first, which may then react with iron carbonyls to give M2(CO)6(R-DAB). This, however, is the end product119,140 in the case of M = Fe, while for M = Ru further build-up of clusters may occur. 

This chapter presents a series of case studies to illustrate the VOC profiles and C02 concentration levels in a tropical climate, Singapore. These studies have been conducted over a period of five years with buildings that use different ventilation systems. Emission rates of alkanes, aromatics, alcohols, cyclic alkanes, carbonyls and other VOCs were determined, and compared with similar studies conducted in Europe and North America. The sensory and health effects of these levels of VOCs are briefly described. Cluster analyses were performed yielding plausible sources which are human or building material and building operation related.
