Abstract
)(μ-dppm)] (4) as the sole product. A series of control experiments have also been conducted to establish the relationship between the different products. The molecular structure of each product has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and the bonding in these new clusters has been investigated by electronic structure calculations.
