Transition metal bimetallic clusters of ruthenium with thallium, indium and gallium

摘要

Novel bimetallic cluster compounds of the formula [M]n[(Ru6C(CO)16)2L] where M is a cation, L is Tl, In or Ga, and n is a number which satisfies valence requirements. These compounds are useful as homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for converting synthesis gas to organic compounds.
