Abstract: | Oxidation of Os(2)(hpp)(4)Cl(2), 1 (hpp = the anion of 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidine), with (FeCp(2))PF(6) produces air-stable [Os(2)(hpp)(4)Cl(2)]PF(6), 2. This is the first structurally confirmed metal-metal bonded paddlewheel compound having an M(2)(7+) core. The Os-Os distances for two crystalline forms, 2.2acetone and 2.hexane, are 2.3309(4) and 2.3290(6) A, respectively. EPR, (1)H NMR, and magnetization data indicate that 2 has an unpaired electron and an exceptionally low g value of 0.791 +/- 0.037. An electrochemical study shows that there is a quasireversible wave corresponding to a more highly oxidized species with an unprecedented Os(2)(8+) core. |
