Homoleptic Metal Carbonyls in Organic Transformation

Keywords Metal carbonyls, organometallic compounds, organic transformations and catalysis 

Metal Carbonyl facilitated chemical transformations occur through thermo or photodissociation of one of the carbonyl group from 18-electron transition metal carbonyl, leads to coordinatively unsaturated product, which gives them the capacity to behave as a catalyst for chemical reactions [1], Polynuclear metal carbonyl clusters have their advantages in multisite interaction between the substrate molecules. Transformation of substrate
