The cluster Ru3Pt(μ-H){μ4-η2-C≡C(t-Bu)} (CO)9(COD) decomposes in dichloromethane or toluene solution by elimination of a Pt atom and COD, affording orange crystals of the title complex Pt[Ru3(μ-H) {μ4-η2-C≡C(t-Bu)}(CO)9]2 (5) in 40-50% yield. Crystal data for 5: triclinic, space group P1?; Complex 5 contains two Ru3 cluster units linked by a 'naked' Pt atom, with each cluster unit bonded via one Ru atom and the α-carbon to the alkynyl ligand. Variable-temperature 13C NMR spectra show that the chiral metal framework undergoes recemization with an estimated ΔG?266 of 57.1 (±1.1) kJ mol-1.
