TRIVALENT METAL SALTS OF DODECAMETAL TRIACONTA CARBONYLS This invention relates to novel carbonyl mixed metal salts, containing more than one metal and having the formula: M2¢TyT'12-y (CO)30!3 wherein M is a divalent metal cation which is one of aluminum, gallium, iridium, scandium, yttrium, and rhenium, T and T' are each different metals selected from the group consisting of cobalt, iridium and rhodium, and y may be any whole number between 1 and 11. These compounds are useful catalysts in the reaction between carbon monoxide and hydrogen to produce oxygenated compounds such as methanol, ethylene glyccl, glycerine and 1, 2-propylene glycol.
