Sulfito complexes, osmium

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... 

There are early reports of sulfito complexes of osmium, but only recently has some of this work been reexamined. It appears that osmium binds to the sulfur atom rather than oxygen in S032, even for the presumably hard osmyl unit in [0s02(S03)4]6. ...
