A series of reactions of Cp(CO)2Mn[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]CHPh with different gold(i) complexes of [Au-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-R]n (R = 4-C5H4N, C6H5) and (tht)AuCl yielded one novel trinuclear MnAuMn cluster. The structure of this cluster can be rationalized as being formed of a vinylidene Mn-Au binuclear and Mn-acetylide fragments, and the binding between those is achieved mainly through the sharing of the electron pair of the single Mn-C σ-bond of an acetylide unit with the gold center.
