The complexes [M3(μ3-CO)(μ-dppm)3]2+ (M = Pt or Pd; dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2) add CO rapidly and reversibly at room temperature to give [M3(μ3-CO)(CO)(μ-dppm)3]2+ and, when M = Pt, [M3(μ-CO)(CO)2(μ-dppm)3]2+, but the halide adducts [M3(μ3-X)(μ3-CO)(μ-dppm) 3]+ (X = Cl, Br, or I) do not add extra CO ligands; this reversible addition of two ligands to a coordinatively unsaturated cluster without cluster breakdown is a novel feature and allows a closer cluster-surface analogy than in earlier model systems.
