Abstract
Reaction of [(Ph3P)(2)N][HRu4(CO)(12)BH] with [Cu(NCMe)(4)][BF4] in the pre sence of [(Ph3P)(2)N]Cl leads to [(Ph3P)(2)N][HRu4(CO)(12)B)(2)Cu-4(mu -Cl) ]Cl, confirmed by a single crystal structure determination. A silver analog ue is produced from the reactions of [(Ph3P)(2)N][HRu4(CO)(12)BH] with [Ag( NCMe)(4)][BF4] or AgBF4, but its formation competes with that of [(Ph3P)(2) N][HRu4(CO)(12)BH)(2)Ag], the crystal structure of which has been determine d.
