Abstract
Miscellaneous tetrasubstituted ammonium salts of [Pt~3__n__~(CO)~6__n__~]^2–^ (n = 5–8) clusters, obtained by the stoichiometric oxidation of the corresponding [Pt~9~(CO)~18~]^2–^ salts with tropylium tetrafluoroborate, self‐assemble into infinite semicontinuous or continuous {[Pt~3__n__~(CO)~3__n__~(μ‐CO)~3__n__~]^2–^}~∞~ conductor wires upon crystallization. Pellets of these salts exhibit conductor behavior that roughly depends on the interdianion gap along the wires. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
