Abstract
The protonation of some polynuclear carbonyl complexes in concentrated sulphuric acid has been studied and the new complexes [HRu3(CO)12]PF6 and [HOs3(CO)12]PF6 have been isolated. The kinetic isotope effect observed in these protonation reactions has been investigated and the new complex HOsCo3(CO)12 has been prepared.
