Synthesis of Binuclear and Trinuclear Cluster Halides of Molybdenum and Rhenium, and of Carbonyl Halides of Rhenium, Iridium, Ruthenium, and Platinum using Metal Atoms

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39820000519

Reactive halocarbons such as 1,2-dibromo- (or dichloro-) ethane or allyl chloride will halogenate atoms of molybdenum and rhenium under co-condensation conditions giving solvated transition metal halides in lower valence states, e.g. (THF = tetrahydrofuran), which are useful synthetic precursors; co-condensation of rhenium with oxalyl chloride gives 2, ruthenium atoms when co-condensed with oxalyl chloride give a carbonyl halide compound which adds trimethylphosphine forming , and similarly, iridium atoms with oxalyl chloride and then triphenylphosphine give .
