M. Schlaf et Rh. Morris, A DIHYDROGEN COMPLEX, S(ETA(2)-H-2)(CO)(QUS)(PPH(3))(2)](-8-THIOLATE)(), IN EQUILIBRIUM WITH ITS COORDINATED THIOL TAUTOMER (QUS=QUINOLINE), Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (6), 1995, pp. 625-626
The mixture of two isomers of the new complex Os(H)(CO)(quS)(PPh(3))(2
) 3 reacts with HBF4 . Et(2)O at -80 degrees C to form the complexes [
Os(eta(2)-H-2)(CO)(quS)(PPh(3))(2)](+) With dihydrogen trans to sulfur
4a or nitrogen 4b along with tautomeric thiol complexes [Os(H)(CO)(qu
SH)(PPh(3))(2)](+) 4c,d; the tautomeric equilibria shift with temperat
ure.
