24. 10 at -78 °C, the mixture was heterogeneous during the initial stages of the reaction.

26. It is also possible that the difference in geometry concerning the metal-carbonyl bond lengths can be attributed to the difference in metal orbital character between the early- and late-metal centers: see. Simpson, C. Q ; Hall, M. B. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1992, 114, 1641 and references cited therein.
27. The formal oxidation state (Ta(III) vs Ta(V)) is unclear because the bridging propyne ligand is neither linear (an argument for a Ta(III) center) nor bent to the extent of a normal alkene (the Ta-C-C angle in 20 is 151.9(8)°) which would lead to a cyclopropene-like Ta(V) structure. We believe that there is at least a significant contribution from the Ta(III) resonance form.

29. Ru carbonyl clusters topically have fewer bridging carbonyls when compared to the analogous Fe clusters. For example. see: Churchill. M-R., Hollander, F. J.; Hutchinson, J. P. Inorg. Chem. 1977, 16, 2655.
