The reaction of the dianion [Ru 5 C(CO) 14 ] 2− with [PtCl 2 (MeCN) 2 ] in the presence of silica yields [Ru 5 PtC(CO) 16 ] ( 1 ) and the new compound [PPN] 2 [Ru 10 Pt 2 C 2 (CO) 28 ] ( 2 ), while, in a related reaction, [Ru 6 C(CO) 16 ] 2− undergoes addition of [PtCl 2 (MeCN) 2 ] to yield the cluster [Ru 12 PtC 2 (CO) 32 (MeCN) 2 ] ( 3 ). The high nuclearity compounds 2 and 3 have been fully characterized and their structures determined by single crystal X‐ray analysis. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
