Chalcogen atom abstraction from NCE⁻ (E = O, S, Se) and i-Pr₂S by the excited state of a luminescent tricyano osmium(vi) nitride

Abstract

Upon irradiation by blue LED (λ ˃ 460 nm), the tricyano osmium nitrido complex [OsVI(N)(L)(CN)3]− (OsN) in its excited state readily abstracts chalcogen atoms from the anions NCE‒ (E =...
