TL;DR: In this paper, the complex Os[sub 3 ] with tetrahydrothiophene (THT) at 25°degree C was decarbonylated and transformed into the new compound Os [sub 3]-CO using a 3-butenethiolate ligand in which the sulfur atom bridges one of the metal-metal bonds.
Abstract: The complex Os[sub 3](CO)[sub 10]([bar S]CH[sub 2]CH[sub 2]CH[sub 2]CH[sub 2])[sub 2] (1) was prepared by the reaction of Os[sub 3](CO)[sub 10](NCMe)[sub 2] with tetrahydrothiophene (THT) at 25[degree]C. When heated to 97[degree]C, 1 was transformed into the complex Os[sub 3](CO)[sub 10][[mu]-[eta][sup 2]-([bar S]CH[sub 2]CH[sub 2]CH[sub 2]CH)]([mu]-H) (2) by loss of one THT ligand and the activation of a C-H bond on one of the methylene groups bonded to the sulfur atom. At 125[degree]C, 2 was decarbonylated and transformed into the new compound Os[sub 3](CO)[sub 9][[mu]-[eta][sup 3]-S(CH[sub 2])[sub 2]CH=CH[sub 2]]([mu]-H) (3) by a ring-opening cleavage of one of the C-S bonds. Compound 3 contains a 3-butenethiolate ligand in which the sulfur atom bridges one of the metal-metal bonds and the double bond is [pi]-coordinated to one of the sulfur-bridged metal atoms. An investigation of the transformation of Os[sub 3](CO)[sub 10][[mu]-([bar S]CH[sub 2]CD[sub 2]CD[sub 2]CH)]-([mu]-H) (2-d[sub 4]) into Os[sub 3](CO)[sub 9][[mu]-[eta][sup 3]-SCH[sub 2]CD[sub 2]CD=CH[sub 2]]([mu]-D) (3-d[sub 4]) at 125[degree]C showed that the hydride ligand was returned to the carbon atom from which it was initially cleaved and deuterium was shifted to the metal atoms. When heated to 205[degree]C, compound 3 released butene. Complexes 1-3 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, a new platinum-ruthenium heteronuclear cluster complex Pt2Ru4(CO)18,1 was obtained in 60% yield from the reaction of Ru (CO)5 and Pt(COD)2, COD = 1, 5-cyclooctadiene.
Abstract: From the reaction of Ru(CO)5 and Pt(COD)2, COD = 1, 5-cyclooctadiene, the new platinum-ruthenium heteronuclear cluster complex Pt2Ru4(CO)18,1, was obtained in 60% yield.1 has a folded ladder-like structure with alternating pairs of ruthenium atoms and platinum atoms. The cluster of1 can be split to yield the known compound PtRu2(CO)8(η2-dppe),2, (54% yield) by reaction with 1, 2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, dppe, at 25°C. When1 was treated with excess dppe at 40°C, thebis-diphos compound3, PtRu2(CO)6(μ-η2-dppe)2 was obtained (39% yield). Under the similar reaction conditions,2 was converted to3 in 44% yield. All these complexes were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Compounds2 and3 both contain a triangular cluster of one platinum and two ruthenium atoms, but in2 the bidentate ligand, dppe, chelates the platinum atom and in3 the two dppe ligands bridge the two Pt-Ru metal-metal bonds.

TL;DR: The reaction of PtRu5(CO)16(μ6-C),1 with 3-hexyne in the presence of UV irradiation produced two new electron-rich platinum-ruthenium cluster complexes.
Abstract: The reaction of PtRu5(CO)16(μ6-C),1 with 3-hexyne in the presence of UV irradiation produced two new electron-rich platinum-ruthenium cluster complexes PtRu5(CO)13(μ-EtC2Et)(μ3-EtC2Et)(μ5-C),2 (20% yield) and Pt2Ru6(CO)17(μ-η5-Et4C5)(μ3-EtC2Et) (μ6-C),3 (7% yield). Both compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Compound2 contains of a platinum capped square pyramidal cluster of five ruthenium atoms with the carbido ligand located in the center of the square pyramid. A EtC2Et ligand bridges one of the PtRu2 triangles and the Ru-Pt bond between the apical ruthenium atom and the platinum cap. The structure of compound3 consists of an octahedral PtRu5 cluster with an interstitial carbido ligand and a platinum atom capping one of the PtRu2 triangles. There is an additional Ru(CO)2 group extending from the platinum atom in the PtRu5 cluster that contains a metallated tetraethylcyclopentadienyl ligand that bridges to the platinum capping group. There is also a EtC2Et ligand bridging one of the PtRu2 triangular faces to the capping platinum atom. Compounds2 and3 both contain two valence electrons more than the number predicted by conventional electron counting theories, and both also possess unusually long metal-metal bonds that may be related to these anomalous electron configurations.

TL;DR: BaCo 2 Si 2 O 7 was obtained by heating the mixture of BaCO 3, CoCO 3 and SiO 2 to 1300°C for 48 hours as mentioned in this paper, and was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements.
Abstract: The new compound BaCo 2 Si 2 O 7 was obtained by heating the mixture BaCO 3 , CoCO 3 and SiO 2 to 1300°C for 48 h. The material was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Each cobalt ion is surrounded by four oxygen atoms arranged in a distorted tetrahedral shape. These tetrahedral are linked into chains through the sharing of one of the oxygen atoms. The CoO 4 chains are cross-linked by bridging Si 2 O 7 groups. The barium ions occupy channels that run parallel to the crystallographic c -axis. The effective magnetic moment, μ eff = 4.70 B.M., at 25°C is consistent with Co 2+ in a tetrahedral environment having three unpaired electrons. Anti-ferromagnetic coupling of the electrons occurs between the nearest neighbour cobalt ions, as indicated by the sign of the Weiss constant, θ p = −46 K, and by the presence of a broad maximum in the susceptibility curve. At 26 K it undergoes a three-dimensional magnetic transition into a field-induced weak ferromagnet that is characteristic of a one-dimensional metamagnet.
