Carbon monoxide (CO) has long been known as the “silent killer” owing to its ability to form
carboxyhemoglobin—the main cause of CO poisoning in humans. Its role as an …

The iridium/iodide-catalyzed carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid is promoted by
carbonyl complexes of W, Re, Ru, and Os and simple iodides of Zn, Cd, Hg, Ga, and In …

Inorganic Complexes describes the particular features of inorganic complex chemistry, as it
has developed since 1950. The chemical information recorded in this book is intimately …

The first chapter covers the features characteristic of the early transition metals. Particular
emphasis is placed on high co-ordination numbers (stereochemistry, adducts, complexes …

A series of carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) based on the M (CO) 5
framework (M= Cr, Mo, W) is reported. The metal carbonyl anions [MCl (CO) 5]− are shown …

In this paper, drug-like properties of two series of carbonyl metal CO-releasing molecules,
Ru (CO) 3 Cl n L (n= 1, L= amino acid or its derivatives 1–7, L= acetylacetone 8 or 2, 2 …

Convenient syntheses have been developed for the [M2H (CO) io]-and [M2 (CO) 10] 2-
series of anions and the two series connectedby an acid-base relationship. The formation of …

We report on the preparation of a series of phosphorus–nitrogen donor ligand complexes [M
(CO) 4 (PN)], where M= Cr, Mo, W and PN is 2-(diphenylphosphino) ethylamine. The …

The CO-releasing ability of a diverse library of primary metal carbonyl complexes has been
assessed using a deoxymyoglobin-carbonmonoxymyglobin assay. A wide spectrum of rates …

Optically active (phosphirane) Mo (CO) 5 complexes havebeen obtained by starting from
chiral styrene oxide. The corresponding tervalent phosphiranes are easily recovered …
