Abstract
The ionic coupling of the carbonyl cluster anion [Os3Co(CO)(13)](-) (1) wit h [Ru(eta(5)-C5H5)(NCMe)(3)](+) affords the new pentanuclear triheterometal lic cluster Os3CoRu(CO)(13)(eta(5)-C5H5) (2) as well as the known bimetalli c cluster compounds HOs3Ru(CO)(11)(eta(5)-C5H5) and Os3Ru2 (CO)(11) (eta(5) -C5H5)(2). The crystal structure of cluster 2 shows that the metal framewor k is based on a trigonal bipyramid (approximate C-s symmetry) with the Ru, Co acid an Os atom occupying the equatorial metal plane.
