Photochemistry of Os3(CO)12 with AuPPh3Cl: synthesis and structural characterisation of (μ-AuPPh3)(μ-Cl)Os3(CO)10

Abstract
Studies showing the potential of photochemistry for the preparation of mixed-metal clusters are presented, the synthesis and molecular structure of (µ-AuPPh3)(µ-Cl)Os3(CO)10 being reported.
