Abstract

Reaction of the heteronuclear cluster Cp*IrOs3(μ-H) 4(CO)9 with alkynes is activated by excess amine to afford the butterfly clusters Cp*IrOs3(CO)9(RCCR′); hinge-apex isomers are formed. In the case of PhCCH, another cluster Cp*IrOs3(CO)9(CCHPh)2, which contained two alkenyl moieties was also isolated.
