Osmium arene containing

No examples of arene-ruthenium or osmium complexes containing bismuthine ligands has been reported up to now. 

A few examples of other bonding modes that can essentially be viewed as derivations from idealized fii-rf-.rf-.rf bonding have also been characterized in the solid state, although in solution, rapid rotation of the arene in either bonding mode generally takes place. The ruthenium and osmium clusters containing arene ligands that have been characterized in the solid state are listed in Table 1.

Phosphonate Arene Osmium(II) Complexes. Benzene osmium(II) phosphonates have been made via the initial reaction of phosphite-containing osmium cations of type 147 with Nal. Demethylation occurs, and the anionic complex 182 is obtained. Protonation with trifluoroacetic afforded adduct 183 which generated complex 184 on treatment with pyridine. The latter was shown to be a precursor of the thallium complex 185 containing the chelating osmium phosphonate 115). 

T -Arene complexes containing late metals have been known for many years, but the scope and utility of these complexes have increased in recent years. Copper(I) and silver form labile arene complexes of various stoichiometries that are apparently T -arene complexes. A few of these complexes have been structurally characterized. More recently, a large number of V-arene and heteroarene complexes of osmium, rhenium, molybdenum, and tungsten have been prepared for the purpose of dearomatization of the arene or heteroarenes. Two examples are shown in Figure 2.33. This dearomatization creates a diene or vinyl unit that imdergoes the organic chemistry of ttiese isolated units, instead of the chemistry of an arene. n -Arene complexes of rhodium and platinum have been characterized structurally and studied in the context of their likely intermediacy in the oxidative addition of arene C-H bonds. ...
