A MIXED CO-CONTAINING AND OS-CONTAINING N,PI-BICLUSTER COMPLEX BASED ON BETA-PHENYLPROPIONITRILE

The PhCH(2)CH(2)CNOs(3)(CO)(11) complex was prepared by the reaction o f OS3(CO)(12) with beta-cyanoethylbenzene, while the reaction with (CO )(3)CrPhCH(2)CH(2)CN gave a heterometallic derivative, (CO)(3)CrPhCH(2 )CH(2)CNOs(3)(CO)(11). A bicluster complex, Co-4(CO)(9)PhCH(2)CH(2)CNO s(3)(CO)(11), was synthesized for the first time by the reaction of Ph CH(2)CH(2)CNOs(3)(CO)(11) with Co-2(CO)(8); Co-4(CO)(9)PhCH(2)CH(2)CN was also obtained.
