The novel pentanuclear trimetallic cluster ^- has been prepared by the reactions of ^- with a mixture of gold phenylacetylide and silver phenylacetylide, of ^- with <n>, or of ^- with <n>.Its possible structure is discussed.The conversion of the pentanuclear clusters ^- and ^- into the high polynuclearity trimetallic cluster ^- and of ^- into the complex ^- is described.The reactions of ^- with PPh3, P(OMe)3, and CuCl, and those of ^2- with <n>, a mixture of <n> and <n>, and CuCl are reported.
