Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)98510-3

Carbonylation of 2 (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene) in ethanol gave the rhodium cluster selectively in high yield; when non polar solvents were used, the known 2 and 2 were obtained.Reaction of carbon monoxide with the isocyanato-bridged derivative 2 in ethanol also gave .In both cases the carbonylation reaction also gave NH2COOEt.Carbonylation of the iridium dichloride dimer 2 in the presence of sodium citrate gave .
