Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Octahedral Fe₄Cr₂ Transition Metal Cluster Complex Cp₂Cr₂Fe₄(CO)₁₂(µ₆-O)

Abstract

Reaction of Cp(OC)₂Cr≡S≡Cr(CO)₂Cp with Fe₃(CO)₁₂ affords an encapsulated µ₆-O octahedral Fe₄Cr₂ cluster complex Cp₂Cr₂Fe₄(CO)₁₂(µ₆-O), whose crystal structure is determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.
