Abstract

The reaction of Pt2Os4(CO)18 (1) with H2 in refluxing octane (125°C) yielded the new compound Pt5Os6(CO)25 (2), 58%. Compound 2 was characterized by IR, elemental and single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Compound 2 contains 11 metal atoms. five platinum, and six osmium. The cluster can be viewed as two fused trigonal bipyramidal clusters that share one platinum vertex. These two clusters are also joined by three metal-metal bonds, and Os(CO)4 groups bridge two of these three metal-metal bonds. Crystal data for 2·CH2Cl2: space group itP1¯ma=12.250(1) Å,b=17.476(4) Å,c=11.89(2) Å,α=109.87(1)°,β=112.66(1)°,γ=83.05(2)°,Z=2, 2986 reflections,R=0.033.
