Progress under contract DE-AC02-78ER04900 and plans for continued investigations of the reactivity of transition metal hydride cluster compounds with small heteronuclear unsaturated molecules are described. Research will include further elucidation of the mechanisms of hydrogen transfer from metal atoms to unsaturated substrates and studies of the structure and bonding of partially hydrogenated substrates coordinated to polynuclear metal centers. Investigations of the reactivity of the bridging hydride ligand and the chemistry of alkyl groups in clusters are planned. The development of heteronuclear clusters as homogeneous CO hydrogenation catalysts will be attempted.
