Osmium halide complexes

The osmium complex OsCl(CO)(NO)(PPh3)2 can be converted into the corresponding cationic ethylene complex by a halide displacement promoted by Ag(I) ... 

The pattern of chemical reactions observed for these compounds clearly sets them apart from "Fischer-type" carbyne complexes of GroupVI e.g., W(hCR)X(CO)4. Whereas the "Fischer-type" complexes typically react with nucleophiles at the carbyne carbon all of the reactions observed for the five coordinate mthenium and osmium complexes, including the cationic examples, are electrophilic additions to the MsC bond. The following sections deal individually with, protonation, addition of halides of the coinage metals, addition of chlorine and chalcogens, and finally an attempted nucleophilic addition where the nucleophile is directed to a remote site on the aryl ring of the carbyne substituent. 

The chemistry of alkynyl-metal complexes has been reviewed recently.Glassical synthetic routes to half-sandwich alkynyl-ruthenium and alkynyl-osmium complexes of general composition [M(G=GR)(77 -G7,Ht )(L )(L )] are based on the reactions of appropriate halide precursors with lithium/sodium alkynyl reagents or... 

Pseudohalides of Se in which the role of halogen is played by cyanide, thiocyanate or selenocyanate are known and, in the case of Se are much more stable with respect to disproportionation than are the halides themselves. Examples are Se(CN)2, Se2(CN)2, Se(SeCN)2, Se(SCN)2, Se2(SCN)2. The selenocyanate ion SeCN is ambidentate like the thiocyanate ion, etc., p. 325), being capable of ligating to metal centres via either N or Se, as in the osmium(IV) complexes [OsCl5(NCSe)], [OsCl5(SeCN)], and trans-[OsCU(NCSe)(SeCN)]2-.920) Tellurium and polonium pseudohalogen analogues include Te(CN)2 and Po(CN)4 but have been much... 

Ruthenium(IV) produces few other complexes of interest but osmium(IV) yields several sulfito complexes (e.g. [0s(S03)6] and substituted derivatives) as well as a number of complexes, such as [Os(bipy)Cl4] and [Os(diars)2X2] (X = Cl, Br, I), with mixed halide and Group 15 donor atoms. The iron analogues of the latter complexes (with X = Cl, Br), are obtained by oxidation of... 

Halide complex ions of ruthenium and osmium in the +3 state are known for all except OsFg" [39], Syntheses include ... 

Osmium tetroxide is obtained as an intermediate during recovery of osmium metal from osmiridium or other noble metal minerals (See Osmium). In general, oxidation of an aqueous solution of an osmium salt or complex, such as sodium osmate with nitric acid, yields the volatile tetroxide which may be distilled out from the solution. In the laboratory, the compound can be prepared by oxidation of the osmium tetrachloride, OsCh, or other halide solutions with sodium hypochlorite followed by distdlation.
