Osmium complexes hydrocarbyl

The electrochemical properties of a number of isostructural rhe-nium(V) oxo, rhenium(V) imido, osmium(VI) nitrido, of formula [M(E)(X)(Y)(Tp )] (Tp = Tp or Tp, E = O, N-tolyl, N X, Y = hydrocarbyl, halide, triflate), have been described. The reactivity of these complexes as inner-sphere oxidants does not correlate with their peak reduction potentials, whereas the ease of the oxidation of these compounds well parallels their reactivity as oxidants.206... 

Not considered within this review are the wide range of porphyrin and other nitrogen macrocycle-stabilized ruthenium and osmium hydrocarbyl complexes. Readers should see the following as a starting point for information on this type of alkyl/aryl, alkynyl, vinylidene, allenylidene, and carbene complexes. 

This section contains an overview of trinuclear clusters of osmium and ruthenium that contain C3 hydrocarbyl ligands. The potential ligand types include those shown in Scheme The most common complexes are...
