Cluster complexes with metal frameworks built from [(C5R5)(d9-M)] units are reviewed (d9−M = Co, Rh, Ir). The range of additional ligands which may be attached to the [(C5R5)M]n cores includes main group atoms such as H, O, S and Se, small inorganic molecules such as CO, CS, NO and NH as well as organic compounds such as isocyanides, alkynes, alkylidynes, arenes and others. Syntheses, structures and reactivities of the known cluster complexes of this type are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the relationship of structure and chemical properties to the valence electron count in systems of similar composition. |
