Mixed metal compounds bridged by 1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diyne derived by C-C bond coupling of alkynyl ligands
New mixed-metal compounds, PtRu3(mu(4)-eta(1) : eta(1) : eta(2) : eta(4)- PhCCCCPh)(CO)(10)(dppe) with isomers 1 and 2, have been prepared by reacting cis-dialkynyl platinum(II) complex, Pt(Cequivalent toCPh)(2)(dppe), with Ru-3(CO)(12), via a C-C bond coupling of the alkynyl ligands.
