Alternative synthetic route for the heterometallic CO-releasing [Sb@Rh12(CO)27]3− icosahedral carbonyl cluster and synthesis of its new unsaturated [Sb@Rh12(CO)24]4− and dimeric [{Sb@Rh12Sb(CO)25}2Rh(CO)2PPh3]7− derivatives

The hetero-metallic [Sb@Rh12(CO)27]3− cluster has been known as for over three decades thanks to Vidal and co-workers, and represents the first example of an E-centered (E=heteroatom) icosahedral rhodium carbonyl cluster. However, its synthesis required high temperature (140–160 °C) and elevated CO...
