Several new compounds of the type (1+) X(1-), where X = Cl, Br, I, I3, BPh4, p-toluenesulphonate, d(+)-campho-10-sulphonate, have been obtained in the form of ion pairs or salts.The above compounds form during oxidative addition by HX acids to CpOsH(PPh3)2.The reactions are complete after several seconds, with a quantitative yield.This is in contrast to the behaviour of CpRuH(PPh3)2, where covalent CpRuX(PPh3)2 forms.Reaction of CpOsH(PPh3)2 with DCl acid (excess) gives Cl, but no Cl is formed.Refluxing CpOsBr(PPh3)2, in ethylene glycol for instance, gives a (1+) cation as a result of the dehydrogenation of the glycol.Compounds of the type, X, in solutions of polar solvents (MeOH) or halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g.CH2X2) undergo transformation to CpOsX(PPh3)2 during the reductive elimination process.In this way novel CpOsI(PPh3)2 has been obtained.In the case of the reaction of a mixture of HX + X2 with CpOsH(PPh3)2, Br3 (for Br2) and I3 (for I2) have been obtained in the form of sparingly soluble ion pars with yields of about 90percent.
