%X The reaction between [Ru3(CO)11(CNBut)] and [Pt(&#951;-C2H4)(PPh3)2] at -30&#176; affords a thermally unstable intermediate complex (A), which decomposes at room temperature affording, inter alia, [Ru2Pt(CO)7(PPhd3)3 (1), [RuPt2(CO)5(PPh3)3] (2), [RuPt2(CO)6(CNBut)(PPh3)] (5) and [Ru2Pt2- (CO)9(CNBut)(PPh3)] (6). The hexanuclear complexes [Ru2Pt4(CO)5-n(CNBut)(PPh3)4+n] [n = 0 (17) and 1 (18)] are obtained, with [Ru2Pt(CO)5(CNBut)(PPh3)4] (16), from reactions at 80&#176;. Related Ru2Pt and RuPt, complexes are obtained from reactions between complex (A) and CO, CNBut, Pme3, P(C6H4Me-p)3, or P(OMe)3; related reactions between [Ru3(CO)11(CNBut)] and [Pt{P(C6H4Me-p)3}4], and between [Ru3(CO)10(CNBut)2] and [Pt(&#951;-C2H4)(PPh3)2, are also described. The crystal structure of [RuPt2(CO)5(PPh3)3] has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295(1) K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.035 for 6774 'observed' reflections. Crystals are triclinic, P 1, a 15.893(5), b 15.400(5), c 12.651(4) &#506;, &#945; 57.04(2), &#946; 77.09(3), &#947; 84.10(3)&#176;, Z 2. Crystals of the dibenzene solvate of the complex are monoclinic, P 21/c, a 11.868(4), b 18.647(8), c 29.24(1) A, &#946; 98.35(3)&#176;, Z 4, the structure being refined to a residual of 0.057 for 4530 'observed' reflections. Ligand dispositions are compared in detail with those observed in the analogous compound previously described with the methyldiphenylphosphine Iigand.
