Abstract

The α-diimine ligand 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) reacts with the activated cluster 1,2-Os3(CO)10(MeCN)2 to afford the carbonyl-bridged cluster 1,1-Os3(CO)9(μ-CO) (phen), which has been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopies and X-ray diffraction analysis. Replacement of the 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod) ligand in 1,1-Os3(CO)10(cod) by phen proceeds sluggishly over a 24 h period, showing less than 5% conversion to 1,1-Os3(CO) 9(μ-CO)(phen).
