N2 - The cluster [Ru5C(CO)15] reacts with LiMe, followed by [Ph3PAu][Cl], to give [Ru5C(CO)14(µ-η2-MeCO)(AuPPh3)] while reaction with NaC5H5, followed by [Ph3PAu][ClO4], gives [Ru5C(CO)13(η5-C5H5)(AuPPh3)]; X-ray analysis has confirmed that the nucleophile has attacked a carbonyl ligand in the former case but a metal centre in the latter.
