Organometallic ‘helicopters.’ Characterisation of the non-rigid triosmium arene–alkene complexes [Os3(CO)82-CH2CHR)(µ3222-C6H6)], (R[double bond, length as m-dash]H, Ph) and the X-ray crystal structure of [Os3(CO)82-CH2CH2)(µ3-η222-C6H6)]

Abstract

The cluster-alkene complexes [Os3(CO)82-CH2CHR)(µ3222-C6H6)](R[double bond, length as m-dash]H, Ph) contain benzene ligands in a face-capping co-ordination mode, and the geometry of the ethylene derivative has been confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray analysis; the intramolecular dynamics of these complexes have been investigated in solution by n.m.r. spectroscopy and are discussed in terms of arene ring-whizzing and alkene rotation.
