| Abstract: | Reaction between Os(CO)2(PPh3)3 and Me3SnH produces Os(SnMe3)H(CO)2(PPh3)2 (1). Multinuclear NMR studies of solutions of 1 reveal the presence of four geometrical isomers, the major one being that with mutually cis triphenylphosphine ligands and mutually trans CO ligands. Os(SnMe3)H(CO)2(PPh3)2 undergoes a redistribution reaction, at the trimethylstannyl ligand, when treated with Me2SnCl2 giving Os(SnMe2Cl)H(CO)2(PPh3)2 (2). Solutions of 2 again show the presence of four isomers but now the major isomer is that with mutually trans triphenylphosphine ligands and mutually cis CO ligands. The redistribution reaction of 1 with SnI4 produces Os(SnMeI2)H(CO)2(PPh3)2 (3) which exists in solution as only one isomer, that with mutually trans triphenylphosphine ligands and mutually trans CO ligands. Treatment of 3 with I2 cleaves the Os-H bond with retention of geometry giving Os(SnMeI2)I(CO)2(PPh3)2 (4). The crystal structure of 4 has been determined. No isomerization of the trans dicarbonyl complex 4 occurs when 4 is heated, instead there is a formal loss of “MeSnI” and formation of OsI2(CO)2(PPh3)2 (5). |
