The higher nuclearity raft-like cluster Os6(CO)20(μ-SbPh2)2, 5-Os, was isolated from the base hydrolysis of Os3(CO)11(SbPh2Cl), 1-Os. The ruthenium analogue, viz., Ru6(CO)20(μ-SbPh2)2, 5-Ru, was obtained from the reduction of Ru3(CO)12, 7-Ru, with the benzophenone ketyl radical followed by treatment...
