Interest in Pt-Au and Pt-Ag compounds is growing because the gold or silver incorporation causes significant changes in the activity and selectivity of platinum catalysts. The reaction of (Pt/sub 3/H(/mu//sub 3/-S)(/mu/-dppm)/sub 3/)/sup +/ (dppm = Ph/sub 2/PCH/sub 2/PPh/sub 2/) with Ph/sub 3/PAu/sup +/ was carried out with the aim of substituting the hydride ligand by the Ph/sub 3/PAu/sup +/ ligand. This aim was not achieved; however, the compound (Pt/sub 3/(/mu//sub 3/-S)(AuPPh/sub 3/)(/mu//sub 3/-AgCl)(/mu/-Ph/sub 2/PCH/sub 2/PPh/sub 2/)/sub 3/)/sup +/ containing the Pt/sub 3/AuAg core was isolated. The synthesis, structure, and spectroscopic properties of this complex are reported. 23 refs., 1 fig., 3 tabs.
