Hydridocarbonyl cluster complexes

Perhaps the most important development in polynuclear carbonyl hydride complexes was the observation by Kaesz et al. that good yields of hydridocarbonyls could be obtained by direct reaction of hydrogen with polynuclear carbonyls (82). This has been applied to a number of systems. Thus, the anion [Rh,2(00)39 yields the cluster anion...
