Abstract

The reaction of the anion [Os3H(CO)11]- with bis(pentafluorophenyl)phosphine, (C6F5)2PH, results in the cleavage of a PC bond and the formation of the bridged phosphido cluster [Os3(μ-H)(CO)10(μ-P(C6F6)H)]. The structure of this product has been confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study which shows that the P(C6F5)H ligand and the hydrido bridge the long edge (2.916(1) Å) of the isosceles osmium triangle.
