Studies on transition-metal cyano-complexes. Part 4. Cyanide hydride complexes of Groups 6A and 8
Abstract
The new complex K4[MoH(CN)7]·2H2O and its characterisation by 1H, 13C n.m.r. and vibrational spectra are reported. Vibrational and n.m.r. data are also presented for [MH(CN)5]3–(M = Rh or Ir). Attempts to prepare other cyanide hydride species are discussed. Reactions of the above species with small molecules and unsaturated hydrocarbons are reported.
