A well-define tetrairidium catalyst was synthesized utilizing calix[4]arene phosphine ligands that stabilize the complex. The cluster has been adsorbed onto γ-Al₂O₃ and SiO₂, calcined at 723K, to observe fundamental catalytic consequence of the support for decarbonylation. The catalyst begins to decabonylate at 343K and 313K for γ-Al₂O₃ and SiO₂, respectively.
