The Chemistry of Some Triosmium Alkylidene and Alkylidyne Cluster Complexes

Upon sequential treatment of ((mu)-H)Os(,3)(CO)(,10)((mu)-COMe) with PhLi and MeOSO(,2)CF(,3), reaction occurs at a carbonyl ligand, affording a mixed alkylidene-alkylidyne complex ((mu)-H)Os(,3)(CO)(,9)((eta)('1)-C(OMe)(,2))((mu)(,3)-CPh), which, on extended treatment with MeOSO(,2)CF(,3) forms the alkylidyne complexes, ((mu)-H)Os(,3)(CO)(,10)((mu)(,3)-CPh) and Os(,3)(CO)(,9)((mu)(,3)-CPh)((mu)(,3)-COMe). These complexes have been characterized by microanalysis and mass, IR, ('1)H and ('13)C NMR spectroscopy together with single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.
