Hydride, Carbonyl and Hydrido Carbonyl Complexes of Platinum Group Metals-A Survey

Department of Chemistry, Bangalore University, Bangalore 560 001.

In the last two decades enormous number of hydride and carbonyl complexes of platinum metals have been characterised, and from time to time comprehensive reviews on the subject matter, especially on hydride complexes, have appeared^2-16. The present survey is confined mostly to those complexes (polynuclear carbonyls are excluded) that have been reported in the recent past, say, the last 5-6 years.
