Abstract
(C5Me5)2Cr2(CO)4(CrCr) reacts with moist LiPF6 in CH2Cl2 at room temperature, or with H2O directly in refluxing toluene, to produce the mononuclear hydride (C5Me5)Cr(CO)3H; the latter reaction also produces a salt [(C5Me5)4Cr4(µ-OH)6][(C5Me5)Cr(CO)3]2 whose BF4 – derivative, [(C5Me5)4Cr4(µ-OH)6](BF4)2, has been characterized by X-ray crystallography.Keywords
