“…The analogous hydroxo complexes have much lower pN0 and are unreactive. 15,46 We then synthesized the previously unknown [OsX(das)2NO]2+ (X = Cl, Br, I) complexes to investigate whether they would react in a manner analogous to [RuCl(das)2NO]2+. We were prompted to attempt this not only to extend our knowledge of nitrosyl reactivity but also to add some of the missing members to the very interesting series of complexes [MX-(das)2AB],i+, where M = Fe, Ru, or Os; X = Cl, Br, I, OH, or other unidentate ligand; and AB = NO+, CO, or N2.…”
