%X The molecular structures of four ruthenium cluster complexes, isolated in small amounts in the course of studies of the reactions of alkynes or a 1,3-diyne with ruthenium cluster carbonyls, are reported: Ru3(&#181;3-PhC2C=CHPh)(&#181;- OH)(CO)9 (1), from Ru3(CO)10(NCMe)2and PhC&#197;&fllig;CC&#197;&fllig;CPh, is probably formed by addition of water to a diyne&#8211; Ru3 precursor; Ru3&#123;&#181;3-C(OCH2CH=CH2)CHCCPh2OC(O)&#125;(&#181;-dppm)(&#181;-CO)(CO)6 (2) was isolated from the many products of the reaction between Ru3(&#181;&#8722;dppm)(CO)10and HC&#197;&fllig;CCPh2(OH); Ru4(&#181;4-PhCHC2CHPh)(CO)12 (3) was found among the thermolysis products of Co2Ru3(&#181;5-PhC2C2Ph)(&#181;-CO)3(CO)11; and Ru4(&#181;4-CHCCH2- CHPMe3)(CO)10(PMe3) (4) was formed by reaction of PMe3 with Ru3(&#181;3-HC2H)(&#181;-CO)(CO)9.
