Abstract
Hydride or carbanion attack on the triosmium cluster complexes [Os3(CO)9(µ3-η2:η2:η2-C6H5R)], R = H or Me, proceeds highly regio- and stereo-selectively at the face-capping arene ligands. The exo-addition products are anionic, triply bridging cyclohexadienyl complexes [Os3(CO)9(µ3-η2:σ:η2- C6H5RR′)]–, R′= H, Me, or Ph, that yield neutral compounds [Os3(CO)9(µ-E)(µ3-η2:σ:η2-C6H5RR′)] on reaction with electrophiles E = H+ or Au(PEt3)+.
