Abstract

The unsaturated mixed-metal cluster anion [Os6Au(CO) 20H2]- has been prepared as its [N(PPh 3)2]+ salt by the reaction of [Os 3Au(CO)10(PR3)H] (R = Ph, Et) with [N(PPh 3)2]Cl; its X-ray crystal structure shows that the Au I atom links two 'Os3(CO)10H' units via co-ordination to two short Os-Os bonds.
