Abstract
Treatment of a solution of [Os3(CO)10(R2C2)] (R = Me (1, R = Ph (2)) in CH2Cl2 with Me3No/MeCN in the presence of R′2C2 affords the new organometallic cluster [Os3(CO)8(R2C2)(R′2C2)] (R = R′ = Me (3), R = R′ = Ph (4) and R = Ph, R′ = Me (5)). A single crystal X-ray analysis of compound 4 has established a triangular metal framework with both the alkyne units coordinated in a μ3-η2-{norm of matrix}-mode. In toluene, at 80°C, compound 4 undergoes rearrangement to the known compound, [Os3H(CO)8(Ph)C2(C6H4))] (6) in which CC bond formation has occurred to produce an osmacyclopentadiene ring.
