A new synthetic route for the preparation of [Os3(CO)10(μ-OH)(μ-H)] and its reaction with bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm): syntheses and X-ray structures of two isomers of [Os3(CO)8(μ-OH)(μ-H)(μ-dppm)] and [Os3(CO)7(μ3-CO)(μ3-O)(μ-dppm)].


ABSTRACT: The triosmium cluster [Os3(CO)10(μ-OH)(μ-H)] containing bridging hydride and hydroxyl groups at a common Os-Os edge was obtained in good yield (ca. 75%) from the hydrolysis of the labile triosmium cluster [Os3(CO)10(NCMe)2] in THF at 67 °C. [Os3(CO)10(μ-OH)(μ-H)] reacts with dppm at 68 °C to afford the isomeric clusters 1 and 2 with the general formula [Os3(CO)8(μ-OH)(μ-H)(μ-dppm)] that differ by the disposition of bridging dppm ligand. Cluster 1 is produced exclusively from the reaction of [Os3(CO)10(μ-OH)(μ-H)] with dppm in CH2Cl2 at room temperature in the presence of added Me3NO. Heating cluster 1 at 81 °C furnishes 2 in a proc
