High Nuclearity Metal Carbonyl Clusters

The main synthetic route to high nuclearity metal carbonyl clusters involves a condensation process (/) a reaction induced by coordinatively unsaturated species or (2) a reaction between coordinatively saturated species in different oxidation states. As an example of (/), Os2(CO)22 can be condensed to form a series of higher coordinated species (89).
