Treatment of 1,1'-bis4-cyclooctadiene)platinio>ferrocene with excess phenylacetylene and CuI in diethylamine/acetone results in the formation of a novel 1,1'-ferrocenediyl Pt2Cu3 acetylide complex (4), of which structure is characterized by an X-ray diffraction analysis.Similar treatment of 1,1'-bis4-cyclooctadiene)platinio>ferrocene also gave complex 4.The reaction of 1-4-cyclooctadiene)platinio>ferrocene or 1-<4-cyclooctadiene)platinio>ferrocene affords a Pt2Cu4 acetylide complex.
