Decacarbonyldihydridotriosmium is an organoosmium compound with the formula H₂Os₃(CO)₁₀. This purple-violet crystalline air-stable cluster is noteworthy because it is electron-deficient and hence adds a variety of substrates.

Structure and synthesis

The trinuclear cluster features an isosceles triangular array of metals with one short edge (r_Os-Os = 2.68 Å), which is spanned by the two hydride ligands, and two longer edges (r_Os-Os = 2.81 Å).[1] It can be described as Os(CO)₄[Os(CO)₃(μ-H)]₂. The bonding in the Os₂H₂ subunit has been compared to the 3-center, 2e bonding in diborane. It is prepared by purging a solution of Os₃(CO)₁₂ in octane (or other inert solvent of similar boiling point) with H₂.[2]

Os₃(CO)₁₂ + H₂ → Os₃H₂(CO)₁₀ + 2 CO

Reactions

The cluster reacts with a wide range of reagents under mild conditions. Illustrative is its reaction with diazomethane to give Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-H)(μ-CH₃), exhibiting an agostic interaction, the first identified in a metal cluster.[3]
