Upon one-electron reduction, 1-(CH3)2CO)>3+ undergoes an η1->η2 isomerization at a specific rate of 6*103 s-1.Through the investigation of the homogeneous oxidation of 2-(CH3)2CO)>2+, a specific rate of 1.3 s-1 for the η2->η1 isomerization has also been determined.Thus, η2-coordination is preferred by 5.0 kcal mol-1 for acetone bound to pentaammineosmium(II).The investigation has been extended to other aldehydes and ketones in order to explore of the effects of strain, conjugation, and steric hindrance in the η5-bound ligand.Pentaammineosmium(II) was also found to interact with the aromatic portion of the phenones investigated.In these complexes, the metal coordinates η2 to the arene, interrupting its aromaticity.Upon oxidation, an intramolecular isomerization occurs in which the Os(III) species adopt an η1-coordination at the carbonyl.
