Abstract

Reaction of (Ph 2P( o-C 6H 4)CH NCH 2CH 2) 3N with 3 equiv. of Os 3(CO) 10(NCMe) 2 at ambient temperature affords the triple cluster [Os 3(CO) 10Ph 2P( o-C 6H 4)CH NCH 2CH 2] 3N ( 1) through coordination of the phosphine and imine groups. Thermolysis of 1 in benzene leads to decarbonylation and C–H/C–N bond activation of the ligand to generate (μ-H)Os 3(CO) 8(μ 3-Ph 2P( o-C 6H 4)CH NC CH 2) ( 2). The molecular structure of 2 has been determined by an X-ray diffraction study.
