Synthesis of NHC-containing heterometallic carbonyl clusters and their application as heterogeneous oxidation catalysts

The reaction of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) derivatives of platinum or gold with ruthenium or cobalt carbonyl clusters gave various combinations of heterometallic NHC-containing RuxPty, RuxAuy and CoxPty clusters. The methodologies employed for syntheses of such heteronuclear clusters the allowed g...
