Decacarbonyldihydridotriosmium is a chemical compound with the formula H2Os3(CO)10. This purple-violet crystalline air-stable cluster is noteworthy because it is electronically unsaturated and hence adds a variety of substrates.
Structure and synthesis
The trinuclear cluster features an isosceles triangular array of metals with one short edge (rOs-Os = 2.68 Å), which is spanned by the two hydride ligands, and two longer edges (rOs-Os = 2.81 Å). It can be described as Os(CO)42. The bonding in the Os2H2 subunit has been compared to the 3-center, 2e bonding in diborane. It is prepared by purging a solution of Os3(CO)12 in octane (or other inert solvent of similar boiling point) with H2.
- Os3(CO)12 + H2 → Os3H2(CO)10 + 2 CO
Reactions
The cluster reacts with a wide range of reagents under mild conditions. Illustrative is its reaction with 2 to give 3Os3(CO)9. With diazomethane, it gives Os3(CO)10(μ-H)(μ-CH3), exhibiting an agostic interaction, the first identified in a metal cluster.
