The reaction of [HRe3(CO)12](2-) with an excess of Ph3PAuCl in CH2Cl2 yields [(Ph3PAu)(4)Re(CO)(4)](+) as the main product, which crystallizes as [(Ph3PAu)(4)Re(CO)(4)]PF6 (.) CH2Cl2 (1 (.) CH2Cl2) after the addition of KPF6.The crystal structure determination reveals a trigonal bipyramidal Au4Re cluster with the Re atom in equatorial position.If [(Ph3PAu)(4)Re(CO)(4)](+) is reacted with PPh4Cl, a cation [Ph3PAu](+) is eliminated as Ph3PAuCl, and the neutral cluster [(Ph3PAu)(3)Re(CO)(4)] (2) is formed. It combines with excess [(Ph3PAu)(4)Re(CO)(4)](+) to afford the cluster cation, [(Ph3PAu)(6)AuRe2 (CO)(8)](+). It crystallizes from CH2Cl2 as [(Ph3PAu)(6)AuRe2(CO)(8)]PF6 (.) 4CH(2)Cl(2) (3 (.) 4CH(2)Cl(2)). In [(Ph3PAu)(3)Re(CO)(4)'] the metal atoms are arranged in form of a lozenge while in [(Ph3PAu)(6)AuRe2(CO)(8)](+) two Au4Re trigonal bipyramids are connected by a common axial(.)Au atom.The treatment of [(Ph3PAu)(4)Re(CO)(4)](+) with KOH and Ph3PAuCl in methanol yields the cluster cation [(Ph3PAu)(6)Re(CO)(3)](+), which crystallizes with PF6- from CH2Cl2 as [(Ph3PAu)(6)Re(CO)(3)]PF6 (.) CH2Cl2 (4 (.) CH2Cl2). The metal atoms in this cluster form a pentagonal bipyramid with the Re atom in the axial position. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
