Abstract

The organometallic cluster [Os3(CO)8(NCMe){C(Me)C(Me)C(O)C(Me)C(Me)}] reacts with a range of alkynes to produce [Os3(CO)8{C(Me)C(Me)C(O)C(Me)C(Me)C(R)C(R′)}] (R = R′ = H, Me, or Ph; R = Me, R′ = Ph) in which the incoming alkyne molecule and the previously co-ordinated pentadienone ligand have combined to produce a C7Os3 unit; the molecular structures of [Os3(CO)8{C(Me)C(Me)C(O)C(Me)C(Me)C(Ph)C(Ph)}] and [Os3(CO)8{P(OMe)3}{C(Me)-C(Me)C(O)C(Me)C(Me)}] have been ascertained by X-ray analyses.
