%X The syntheses of two complexes consisting of two Ru3(&#181;-H)(&#181;3-C2But)(CO)8 clusters bridged by acetylenic ditertiary phosphines, C2(PR2)2 &#91;R = Ph (3), Bun (4)&#93;, are described. The molecular structure of (3) confirms that substitution of the cluster at the ruthenium which is &#963; bonded to the acetylide has occurred. The structural parameters closely resemble those of Ru3(&#181;&#8722;&#072;)(&#181;3-C2But)(CO)8(L) &#91;L = CO, PPh2(OEt)&#93;.
