Reactivity of triosmium clusters with substituted triphenylphosphines: the crystal and molecular structure of (2-PNH2=2-aminophenyldiphenylphosphine)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(94)80054-5

The reaction of 2-aminophenyldiphenylphosphine (2-PNH2) with and has yielded the compounds and respectively.The compounds have been characterized spectroscopically and the structure of one of them determined by an X-ray diffraction study.The ligand bridges an edge of the triosmium triangle with the P atom bound to a single Os atom in an equatiorial site.The amido N forms a bridge between this Os atom and one of its neighbours in the triangle.Key words: Triosmium; Cluster; Phosphine
