Geoffroy, G L

Mechanistic schemes for the metal surface catalyzed reduction of carbon monoxide to methanol and to hydrocarbons have been proposed, and the feasibility of these mechanisms is being tested by preparing and studying the intermediates. Initial study was on the preparation and reactivity studies of cluster complexes bearing formyl and acyl substituent groups. This progress report, briefly describes accomplishment for the following studies: (1) triosmium clusters as models for carbon monoxide reduction; (2) coupling of carbene and nitrene ligands on an Fe/sub 3/ cluster; (3) halide promoted insertion reactions; and (4) insertion of metals into metal-methylene bonds.
