Theses and Dissertations

Chapter 1 introduces two related topics with the primary focus on the background of zwitterions and the conceptual understanding of a metal-complexed zwitterion. It also discusses the potential of a metal-complexed zwitterion for a carbon-carbon bond formation reaction. Synthesis of the metal carbonyl cluster, Ru6(µ6-C)(µ-CO)(CO)16, is also discussed in detail. Then, the background with the importance of heterometallic cluster complexes is discussed with the help of various examples used for catalysis.

The reaction of hexaruthenium carbido carbonyl cluster, Ru6(µ6-C)(µ-CO)(CO)16, with C2H2 and Me3NO yielding first examples of two new zwitterionic complexes, Ru6C(CO)15(μ−η2−C2H2NMe3), 2.2, and Ru6C(CO)14(μ3−η4−C4H4NMe3), 2.3, are presented in Chapter …
