Abstract
Treatment of osmocene with mercuric acetate (10 equiv) in refluxing 1, 2-dichloroethane for 18 h affords decakis(acetoxymercurio)osmocene in 84% yield. This is the first description of the mercuration of osmocen e. Reaction of decakis(acetoxymercurio)osmocene with halogenating agen ts affords decachloroosmocene (43%), decabromoosmocene (48%), or decai odoosmocene (61%). These complexes constitute the first decahaloosmoce nes. The X-ray crystal structure of decachloroosmocene is described.
