“…43 The vibrational and NMR spectra of [os(c0)6]'+ have been reported. 44 The complexes [Os(H),X,(PPr',),] (X = C1, Br or I), which show a trigonal prismatic C, structure in the solid state, exist in equilibrium with a non-symmetric isomer in solution; the isomers interconvert via three discrete processes;45 [Os(H),(PPr',),(L-S,O)] (L = N-acetyl-L-cysteine) also exhibits this distorted geometry.46 Protonation or ferrocenium ion oxidation of [OS(H),(PPr'3),] yields [Os(H),(H,)(PPr',),] +, which undergoes successive substitutions by acetonitrile to afford [0sH(H,)(NCMe),(PPri3),] Treatment of H,OsBr, with C,HMe, in HBr-MeOH affords [(OSH(Cp*),},(OS,Br,)], whose crystal structure contains the eclipsed rotamer of [Os,Br,12-; the observed 0 s -0 s distance of 2.219(2)A is slightly longer than those in the staggered forms of this anion. 52 The square-planar complexes [OsCl(NO)(PPr',R),] (R = Pr', Ph), which are the first 16-electron osmium(0) species to be structurally characterized, undergo facile oxidative addition reactions with H, and alkynes.…”
