The proposed research is in the general area of organometallic                  chemistry and in the specific area of metal cluster chemistry.                  The research is expected to provide a clearer understanding of                  how metal clusters function as catalysts in the synthesis and                   transformation of organic compounds.                                                                                                                            The research will focus on two areas of metal cluster                           chemistry. The first area will address the reaction mechanisms                  of metal clusters, particularly in homogeneous catalysis. Two                   approaches will be used to optimize the likelihood that the                     clusters will remain intact throughout the catalytic cycle. The                 first will involve the use of halides and pseudohalides to                      activate simple carbonyl clusters under mild conditions. The                    second approach will involve the use of mu-3-NR ligands to bind                 together strongly the metals within the cluster, so that                        reactions under more vigorous conditions may be studied. The                    second general area of metal cluster chemistry to be addressed                  is the synthesis of oligomers and polymers of clusters.                         Clusters will be linked together with a variety of organic                      linking groups to provide different types of structures. The                    redox chemistry of the oligomers will be explored, since                        unusual electronic properties are expected for the mixed                        valence species obtained by partial oxidation.
