Triosmium Clusters with Group IV Elements Other than Carbon

TRIOSMIUM CLUSTERS WITH GROUP IV ELEMENTS OTHER THAN CARBON 

A natural extension of oxidative addition reactions of Os3 clusters with C—H bond cleavage is that with Si—H, Ge—H, or Sn—H bond cleavage. Os3(CO)12 reacts at high temperatures (e.g., 140°C) or under uv photolysis with Me3SiH to give mono- and dinuclear compounds, exem-
