Abstract

Thermal degradation of the cluster compound Os3(CO)8(PPh2H)(μ3-S)2 (I) at 125°C leads to decarbonylation and formation of the new ligand bridged hexanuclear cluster Os6(CO)14(μ-PPh2)23-S)34-S) (II) in 11% yield. Space Group: P1, No. 2, a 10.427(5), b 13.552(3), c 17.919(3) Å, α 84.87(2), β 75.41(3), γ 78.43(3)°, V 2399(2) Å3 Z = 2, ρ{variant}calc 2.82 g cm-3. The structure was solved by the heavy atom method and refined (3223 reflections) to the final residuals R = 0.042 and Rw = 0.036. The molecule consists of two sulfido bridged open triosmium clusters which are linked by a bridging sulfido ligand and a bridging diphenylphosphino ligand. © 1984.
