Abstract

Our research on trinuclear Os and Ru carbonyl clusters linkedvia inorganic and organic bridges is reviewed in the context of the nature of the interaction between the linked clusters. The component clusters can behave as essentially independent entities (TYPE A). The component trinuclear species may fuse to form new higher nuclearity clusters in which the indentities of the components are lost (TYPE B). Alternatively, the cluster units retain their identities but for electronic reasons there is long-range metal-metal bonding between them (TYPE C).
