Abstract

Treatment of the cluster [Os6(CO)18] with Me 3NO in the presence of [OsH2(CO)4] affords the new heptanuclear cluster compounds [Os7H2(CO) 22] (1) and [Os7H2(CO)21] (2), and the known compound [Os7H2(CO)20] (3), which have been shown by X-ray diffraction studies to exhibit novel metal geometries; these clusters are interconvertible by stepwise loss (and, in one case, gain) of CO.
