Synthesis, Characterization and Electrochemistry of Some Metal Carbonyl Clusters Derived from Ferrocenylethynylpyridine

Abstract

The chemical reactivity of ferrocenylethynylpyridine ligand with some metal complexes has been studied. Ligation of this ferrocenyl-functionalized pyridyl metalloligand with triosmium carbonyl cluster [Os 3 (CO) 10 (NCMe) 2 ] via oxidative addition led to a new supramolecular heterobimetallic cluster [Os 3 (CO) 10
