Outline of Final Research Achievements

A series of hydride-supported Co and Fe cluster molecules were synthesized from one-pot, sigma-bond metathesis-type reactions in non-polar organic solvents, by using M(II) amide complexes M{N(SiMe3)2}2 (M = Co, Fe) and pinacolborane in the presence/absence of phosphines. The new Co and Fe clusters were identified by means of an X-ray crystallographic study as well as various spectroscopic techniques including the infrared, mass, and 57Fe Mossbauer spectra, though the NMR spectrum was not useful due to their paramagnetism.
