Abstract
[Os5C(CO)14]2- was synthesized in 65% yield on the surface of MgO by treatment of adsorbed [Os3(CO)12] in CO. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) indicated that the nanoclusters were nearly monodisperse and in the size range consistent with [Os5C(CO)14]2-. The supported [Os5C(CO)14]2- was decarbonylated in helium, giving supported nanoclusters that are well approximated as Os5C, as shown by HRTEM and EXAFS data. Decarbonylation in H2 gave larger clusters of osmium, as shown by HRTEM.
