The objective of the work described here was to study the factors influencing CO reduction by metal carbonyl clusters. Several clusters supported on alumina were found to undergo agglomeration at the elevated temperatures necessary for CO reduction. In protic media, CO reduction at a platinum surface was precluded by the facile reduction of protons to hydrogen. In an aprotic molten salt system, AlCl/sub 3/ + n-butyl-pyridinium chloride (BPC) (MR = AlCl/sub 3/:BPC) CO reduction was precluded by Al deposition. Iron carbonyl clusters were shown to decompose in strongly acidic molten salts (MR < 1). Cyclic voltammetry revealed that with increasing nuclearity, cluster oxidation becomes harder and cluster reduction becomes easier.
