Abstract

[Os4H3(CO)11CH:CHR] reacts with CO under pressure to give edge bridging methylenic compounds [OS4H 2(CO)12CHCH2R] and, when R=H, with acetylenes, R′C2R″, to give π-allylic derivatives of the form [Os4H2-(CO)11MeCCR′CHR″]; the structures of these two compounds have been confirmed by X-ray diffraction analyses.
