Abstract: | The title compound can be prepared in good yield by heating either [Ru4(μ-H)4(CO)12] or [Au2Ru4(μ3-H)2(CO)12(PPh3)2] with [AuMe(PPh3)] in toluene. The related compound [Au3Ru4(μ3-H)(μ-dppm)(CO)12(PPh3)] has also been prepared. Both trigoldtetraruthenium clusters undergo dynamic behaviour in solution, involving intramolecular rearrangement of the metal core, as revealed by variable temperature NMR studies. The crystal structure of [Au3Ru4(μ3-H)(CO)12(PPh3)3] has been established by an X-ray diffraction study. The metal atom core comprises a trigonal bipyramidal AuRu4 unit with two AuRu2 faces capped by gold atoms. |
