The reaction of cis-Me(2)Os(CO)(4) with HBF4 . Et(2)O affords the comp
lex cis-(OC)(4)Os(FBF3)CH3 (2). The coordinated tetrafluoroborate of 2
is easily substituted by H2O, [Re(CO)(5)](-), [Re(CO)4(CN)CH3](-) (fr
om Re(CO)(5)CH3 and NaN(SiMe(3))(2)), SCN- and PPhMe(2) to give neutra
l or cationic complexes 4-6, 8, 9, respectively. The structure of cis-
H3C(OC)(4)Os-Re(CO)(5) has been determined by X-ray diffraction.
