Abstract

The single crystal X-ray structure analyses of [Os 2( p-cymene) 2(μ-H) 3]PF 6 ([ 1]PF 6) and [Os 2( p-cymene) 2(μ-Cl) 3]PF 6 ([ 2]PF 6) are presented. The two triple bridged arene osmium complexes show the metal to be in an octahedral geometry, where the p-cymene ligand is facially coordinated and where the bridging ligands (Cl or H) occupy the remaining three coordination sites. In the dinuclear trihydrido complex a strong metal–metal interaction is observed. This is not the case for the trichloro complex where a large metal–metal distance indicates no metal–metal bonding.
