Abstract

The compounds [Ru3(µ-H)3-COMe)(CO)9 and [Ru4(µ-H)4(CO)12] react with [AuMe(PPh3)] to give gold–ruthenium cluster compounds, and the structures of [AuRu3(µ-H)2(µ3-COMe)(CO)9(PPh3)], [Au3Ru3(µ3-COMe)(CO)9(PPh3)3], and [Au3Ru4(µ-H)(CO)12(PPh3)3] have been established by single-cryst X-ray diffraction studies.
