The reaction of Ru{sub 4}(CO){sub 13}({mu}-H){sub 2} (1) with Pt(COD){sub 2} at 25 C yielded four new platinum-ruthenium carbonyl cluster complexes Ru{sub 4}Pt(CO){sub 13}(COD)({mu}-H){sub 2} (2) (37%), Ru{sub 3}Pt(CO){sub 9}({mu}-CO)(COD)({mu}-H){sub 2} (3) (10%), Ru{sub 4}Pt{sub 2}-(CO){sub 11}(COD){sub 2}({mu}{sub 3}-H){sub 2} (4) (2.5%), and Ru{sub 5}Pt{sub 5}(CO){sub 18}(COD){sub 2}({mu}{sub 3}-H){sub 2} (5) (1%). All compounds were characterized by IR, {sup 1}H NMR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The cluster of compound 2 consists of a butterfly tetrahedron of four ruthenium atoms with one triangular face capped by a Pt(COD) grouping. Compound 3 consists of a cluster of three ruthenium atoms and one platinum atom in a tetrahedral arrangement. Compound 4 consists of a tetrahedral cluster of four ruthenium atoms with two of the triangular faces capped by Pt(COD) groupings. The other two triangular faces have triply bridging hydride ligands. In the cluster of compound 5, the five ruthenium and four of the platinum atoms are arranged in the form of a face-shared bioctahedron. The shared face consists of three of the platinum atoms. The fifth platinum atom is a cap on one of the Ru{sub 2}Pt triangles. Two hydride ligands are believed to bridge metals of the triangular faces on the opposite ends of the bioctahedron.
