Heterometallic iridium

Rearrangements of clusters, i.e. changes of cluster shape and increase and decrease of the number of cluster metal atoms, have already been mentioned with pyrolysis reactions and heterometallic cluster synthesis in chapter 2.4. Furthermore, cluster rearrangements can occur under conditions which are similar to those used to form simple clusters, e.g. simple redox reactions interconvert four to fifteen atom rhodium clusters (12,14, 280). Hard-base-induced disproportionation reactions lead to many atom clusters of rhenium (17), ruthenium and osmium (233), iron (108), rhodium (22, 88, 277), and iridium (28). And the interaction of metal carbonyl anions and clusters produces bigger clusters of iron (102, 367), ruthenium, and osmium (249).
