The photolytic elimination of N 2 from [(Ph 3 P)AuN 3 ] is the basis of a new method for preparing gold clusters. The photolysis of a mixture of [(Ph 3 P)AuN 3 ] and [Mo(CO) 6 ] in THF results in loss of N 2 and CO and formation of the title compound, in which the Mo atom forms the center of a novel icosahedral fragment consisting of seven Au atoms. Only a few examples of gold clusters containing heterometal centers were previously known.
