Logical methods for preparing small metal clusters with heteronuclear metal-metal bonds can be devised by appreciating the isolobal relationships that exist between certain metal ligand combinations and organic fragments. Thus the group W(CO) 2 (r|-C 5 H 5 ) has frontier orbitals of similar pattern to those of CH, while those of Rh(CO) (r|-C 5 Me 5 ) and CH 2 are also similar. This paper shows how such ideas have been employed to generate compounds with bonds between rhodium and other metals.
