Abstract

A precursor for Cu/Ru mixed-metal catalysts? This is one of the potential applications of the title cluster (structure of the Ru20Cu6Cl2 framework shown below), which can be isolated as the nBu4N+ salt from the reaction of [(Ph3P)2N]2[Ru10H2(CO)25] with nBu4NOH/H2O,[Cu(MeCN)4], and (Ph3P)2NCl.
