Photoelimination of CO and CO2 from Organometallic Compounds

Photochemical studies of simple mononuclear metal carbonyls have been relatively few in the period under review. The ultrafast photodissociation dynamics of Cr(CO)6 following excitation at 200 and 267 nm have been 

The photolyses of a series of binuclear molybdenum carbonyl complexes containing alkyne ligands have been studied in frozen Nujol matrices at 77 K. IR spectra indicated the formation of two isomeric carbonyl-loss products in each case, one of which seems to be formed by photolysis into the 

Photolysis of the trinuclear complex Ru3(CO)i2 with hydrogen halides (HCl, HBr and HI) has been shown to give high yields of (p-H)(p-X)Ru3(CO)io (X = C1, Br, With pyrazole, Ru3(CO)i2 gives a substitution product
