ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Structure of Os3(CO)6(P(OMe)3)6.
Abstract
The title cluster (III) is prepared by UV irradiation of the tetrakis(phosphite) analogue (I) and excess trimethylphosphite (II), and characterized by X-ray structure analysis at -60 °C (space group R3, Z = 9).
ChemInform Abstract
The title cluster (III) is prepared by UV irradiation of the tetrakis(phosphite) analogue (I) and excess trimethylphosphite (II), and characterized by X-ray structure analysis at -60 °C (space group R3, Z = 9). The starting cluster (I) is formed from Os3(CO)12 and excess (II) in heptane in a Carius tube at 140-145 °C.
