Abstract
Pyrolysis of [Ru3(CO)12] in a sealed evacuated tube gives [Ru6(CO)17C] thereby clearly establishing that the ‘isolated’ carbon atom is derived from reduction of a CO group. Pyrolysis of [Os3(CO)12] under similar conditions leads to formation of polynuclear osmium carbonyl species based on five to eight osmium atoms, viz. [Os5(CO)16], [Os5(CO)15C], [Os6(CO)18], [Os7(CO)21], [Os8(CO)23], and [Os8(CO)21C]. The probable structures of these polynuclear complexes are discussed.Keywords
