Protonation, osmium , structure

Many carbonyl and carbonyl metallate complexes of the second and third row, in low oxidation states, are basic in nature and, for this reason, adequate intermediates for the formation of metal— metal bonds of a donor-acceptor nature. Furthermore, the structural similarity and isolobal relationship between the proton and group 11 cations has lead to the synthesis of a high number of cluster complexes with silver—metal bonds.1534"1535 Thus, silver(I) binds to ruthenium,15 1556 osmium,1557-1560 rhodium,1561,1562 iron,1563-1572 cobalt,1573 chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten,1574-1576 rhe-nium, niobium or tantalum, or nickel. Some examples are shown in Figure 17. 

Both the 1 1 and the 1 2 bonded alkenes should show structural isomers, with, for the ethylene adduct, nonequivalence of the two protons bonded to the carbon. For substituted olefins, it is often possible to detect the presence of both isomeric forms, especially with the osmium derivatives. However, all these molecules are fluxional and the flux-... 

The infrared, NMR, and electronic absorption spectra of the two complexes H2FeRu2Os(CO)i3 and H2FeRuOs2(CO)13 have been taken to indicate a structure for these compounds similar to H2FeRu3(CO)13. However, the infrared and low-temperature proton NMR spectra of both compounds indicate that they exist as a mixture of isomers the two projected isomers for H2FeRu2Os(CO)13 are shown in Fig. 58 (247). The mixed manganese and rhenium-osmium complexes, H3MOs3(CO)13, have been prepared by acidification of the reaction mix-...

Arene)(e/ido-dicyclopentadiene)M(0) complexes [M = Ru (211), Os (212)] are prepared by reduction of lc or Id with 2-propanol and Na2C03 in the presence of dicyclopentadiene (Scheme 15). Protonation of derivatives 211 and 212 with HPF6 leads to cations 213 and 214 which are stabilized by an agostic C—H—M bond, as shown by the X-ray structure of the osmium species (214). The cations 213 and 214 react with CN(t-Bu) to give complexes of type 215 in which the agostic C—H—M is no longer observed (102). 

Protonation of the oximate complexes OsHCl2(ON=CR2) (PTr3)2 produces OsHCl2(=N=CR2)(PTr3)2. An X-ray crystal structure of one derivative shows that it has a short osmium-nitrogen bond distance. This complex reacts with... 

The preparation of two cyclo-octatetraene-gold complexes, (ct)AuCl and (cot)-AU2CI4, has been reported. The structures of biscyclo-octatetraenyl complexes of titanium, vanadium, thallium, and uranium, were deduced from their i.r. spectra. Protonation of (p-cyclo-octatetraene) (p-cyclopentadienyl) complexes has been studied. For the ruthenium and osmium complexes protonation occurs on the eight-membered ring to give CgH moiety co-ordinated to the metal atom via both an T -alkyl and an olefin-metal bond. For the cobalt and rhodium complexes a bicyclic cation (287) is produced which undergoes isomerization to the monocyclic (288). ...
