Trinuclear and hexanuclear platinum clusters as building blocks for organometallic one-dimensional structures.
The reaction between the new hexa- and trinuclear clusters [Pt6](CC-C6H4-CCH)2, (4) [[Pt6] = Pt6(CO)4(mu-PBu(t)2)4], and [Pt3]Cl, (6) [[Pt3] = Pt3(mu-PBu(t)2)3(CO)2], in CuI/Amine gives the thermally and air stable [Pt6](CC-C6H4-CC[Pt3])2 (7), where the cluster units are separated by conjugated 1,4-diethynylphenyl groups.
