Title: Spectroscopic Elucidation of First Steps of Supported Bimetallic Cluster Formation

Journal Article · · Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.

Initial steps of bimetallic Ru-Os cluster formation on MgO in the presence of H{sub 2} are analyzed by EXAFS and IR spectroscopy. Ru-Os bond formation takes place after decarbonylation of Ru{sub 3} clusters and subsequently, at higher temperatures, of Os{sub 3} clusters to generate coordinative unsaturation.
