The possible intermediacy of catalyst-bound formyls in syngas transformations has prompted efforts to prepare and study the chemistry of transition-metal formyl complexes over more than a decade. We have used a mild borohydride in our reactions with metal carbonyl cations and have introduced some variations into the syntheses which allow, in almost all cases, for the pure formyl complex to be precipitated from solution as it is formed. The formyl complexes and their cationic precursors are shown. Seven of the formyls are new; improved procedures have been established for the other four. All but one of the compounds have been isolated.
