Abstarct The ten metal cluster complex Pt2Ru8(CO)23(µ3−H)2, 1 was found to react with EtC2Et to form a new ten metal tris-alkyne complex Pt2Ru8(CO)18(µ3−EtC2Et)2 (µ4−EtC2Et),2 in 35% yield. Complex 2 was characterized by IR,1H NMR , and single crystalx-ray diffraction analyses. The cluster can be viewed as a dodecahedron of eight metal atoms capped with two ruthenium carbonyl groups, two triply bridging EtC2Et ligands and one quadruply bridging EtC2Et ligand. Application of the standard electron counting procedures indicate that this is an unusual complex in which the 18 electron rule applies and the polyhedral skeletal electron pair theory does not.
