Abstract

A survey of the synthetic pathways and of the reactivity and catalytic activity of transition metal carbonyl clusters substituted with benzyne (and, for comparison, benzene and diene) ligands is given. Cluster-surface analogies are helpful in gaining an understanding of the homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic behaviour of the clusters.
