Osmium-platinum cluster preparation

Non-ionic thiourea derivatives have been used as ligands for metal complexes [63,64] as well as anionic thioureas and, in both cases, coordination in metal clusters has also been described [65,66]. Examples of mononuclear complexes of simple alkyl- or aryl-substituted thiourea monoanions, containing N,S-chelating ligands (Scheme 11), have been reported for rhodium(III) [67,68], iridium and many other transition metals, such as chromium(III), technetium(III), rhenium(V), aluminium, ruthenium, osmium, platinum [69] and palladium [70]. Many complexes with N,S-chelating monothioureas were prepared with two triphenylphosphines as substituents.

As befits current interest, the largest number of reviews centre on metal carbonyl cluster compounds. General topics covered included electron transfer reactions, ligand and cluster transformations, and the chemistry of metal clusters containing nitrosyl and nitrido ligands.More specific topics reviewed include sulphi do-osmium carbonyl cluster compounds,and homonuclear platinum clusters.The preparations of [Nb(C0)6] [M2(CO)io(m-H)]" (M = Cr or W), Mn2(C0)aX2 and Re C0)sX (X = Cl, Br or I) are described in Volume 23 of Inorganic Syntheses. ...
