TOPIC 1:1 DEFINATION
Molecular clusters
Atomic and molecular clusters are aggregates of 5-105
atomic or molecular units. They are classified according to
the forces holding them together:
Zintl clusters
1:1 CARBORANES
Zinc metallacarboranes
The reaction of ZnMe2 with [nido-7,8-C2B9H12][NMe3H] in
a 1:1 ratio, gives an unusual macropolyhedral
metallacarborane, which is a novel dimer of the expected
[closo-NMe3-Zn-C2B9H11] product. The structure of the
product bears a passing resemblance to a pair of ear-muffs
or headphones.
Structures of salts of C2B9H12- and C2B9H112-
The 11 vertex carbon and boron hydrides C2B9H13 and
their mono- and di-anions C2B9H12- and C2B9H112-
obtained by deprotonation, were first described by
Hawthorne and co-workers in the 1960s. These are the most
common precursors used by our group and a great many
others to synthesise metallacarboranes and a wide range of
heterocarboranes. The structure of all three isomers of
C2B9H112- consists of an icosahedron with one vertex
vacant, and with an exo-hydrogen atom on each of the 11
vertices; the isomers differ in the location of the carbon
atoms. The mono-anions are a tiny bit more challenging
structurally, and there is a facinating history of the structure
proposed for the most widely used 7,8- C2B9H12- anion.
The location of the endo- or 12th hydrogen atom appears to
depend on the identity of the counter-ion, and the structure
of carborane anion as the proton-sponge salt differs from
that reported by other workers for other counter-ions.
The structure of (PSH+)(7,8-C2B9H12-) determined by
neutron diffraction at natural isotopic abundance.
The 10B isotope of boron is a potent absorber of neutrons,
and previous neutron diffraction studies of borane clusters
have utilised expensive 10B-depleted materials, but the
intense beam of the ISIS spallation source made this study
possible.
Physical characteristics
Most mononuclear carbonyl complexes are colorless or pale
yellow volatile liquids or solids that are flammable and
toxic.Vanadium hexacarbonyl, a uniquely stable 17-electron
metal carbonyl, is a blue-black solid.Di- and polymetallic
carbonyls tend to be more deeply colored. Triiron
dodecacarbonyl (Fe3(CO)12) forms deep green crystals.
The crystalline metal carbonyls often are sublimable in
vacuum, although this process is often accompanied by
degradation. Metal carbonyls are soluble in nonpolar and
polar organic solvents such as benzene, diethyl ether,
acetone, glacial acetic acid and carbon tetrachloride. Some
salts of cationic and anionic metal carbonyls are soluble in
water or lower alcohols.

Compounds
Large anionic clusters of Ni, Pd, and Pt are also well known.

Nitrosyl complexes
Toxicology
Metal carbonyls are toxic by skin contact, inhalation or
ingestion, in part because of their ability to carbonylate
hemoglobin to give carboxyhemoglobin, which prevents the
binding of O2.
Preparation
Nitrosyl complexes can be prepared by many routes. Direct
formation from nitric oxide is common. The nitrosylation of
cobalt carbonyl is illustrative:
Co2(CO)8 + 2 NO → 2 CoNO(CO)3 + 2 CO
Cp2NbMe2 + NO → Cp2(Me)Nb(O)NMe
2 Cp2(Me)Nb(O)NMe → 2 Cp2Nb(O)Me + ½MeN=NMe
Applications

DI -OXYGEN COMPLEXES
Dioxygen complexes are coordination compounds that
contain O2 as a ligand. The study of these compounds is
inspired by oxygen-carrying proteins such as myoglobin,
hemoglobin, hemerythrin, and hemocyanin.[3] Several
transition metals form complexes with O2, and many of
these complexes form reversibly.[4] The binding of O2 is the
first step in many important phenomena, such as cellular
respiration, corrosion, and industrial chemistry. The first
synthetic oxygen complex was demonstra

Applications
Phosphotungstate ion
A heteropoly acid is a class of acid made up of a particular
combination of hydrogen and oxygen with certain metals and non-
metals. This type of acid is a common re-usable acid catalyst in
chemical reactions
The metal addenda atoms linked by oxygen atoms form a cluster with
the hetero-atom inside bonded via oxygen atoms. Examples with
more than one type of metal addenda atom in the cluster are well
known. The conjugate anion of a heteropoly acid is known as a
polyoxometalate.
Phosphotungstic acid
In these names the "12" or "dodeca" reflects the fact that the anion
contains 12 tungsten atoms. Some early workers who did not know
the structure, such as Hsien Wu,[2] called it phospho-24-tungstic
acid, formulating it as 3H2O.P2O5 24WO3.59H2O,
(P2W24O80H6).29H2O, which correctly identifies the atomic ratios of
P, W and O. This formula was still quoted in papers as late as 1970.
Phosphotungstic acid is used in histology as a component for staining
of cell specimens, often together with haematoxylin as PTAH. It binds
to fibrin, collagen, and fibres of connective tissues, and replaces the
anions of dyes from these materials, selectively decoloring them.

Trichrome reagents
In these reagents two or three basic dyes are used with
phosphotungstic acid, in either a one step or multi-stage procedure.
These reagents colour different tissue types different colours. Again
the mechanism of staining is not fully understood. Some explanations
include the proposal that phosphotungstic acid acts as a mordant to
bind the dye to the tissue[20] or that alternatively it binds to tissue
blocking it to dye molecules.[21]
Negative staining
Adsorption onto tissue or the surface of viruses and its electron
density are the bases of phosphotungstic acids action as a negative
stain. This electron density arises from the presence of the 12
tungsten atoms which each have an atomic number of 74. The
mechanism of the adsorption onto tissue has been proposed as being
electrostatic rather than involving hydrogen bonding, as adsorption is
not affected by pH.[3]
Analysis
Very little work appears to have been carried out in this area. One
example relates to liver necrosis in rats.[

Isomerism
The stability of the Keggin structure allows the metals in the anion to
be readily reduced. Depending on the solvent, acidity of the solution
and the charge on the α-Keggin anion, it can be reversibly reduced in
one- or multiple electron step.[12] For example silicotungstate anion
can be reduced to 20th state.[13] Some anions such as silicotungstic
acid are strong enough as an acid as sulfuric acid and can be used in
its place as an acid catalyst.
