Jl. Allen et al., ISOLATION, STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION, AND DIOXYGEN REACTIVITY OF THE HETEROBIMETALLIC COMPLEX [OS(N)(CH2SIME3)2(OCRO3)(DPPE)]-, Organometallics, 13(10), 1994, pp. 3749-3751
The heterobimetallic complex [Y][Os(N)(CH2-SiMe3)2(mu-O)2CrO2], 1 (Y =
[PPh4], [N(n-Bu)4]), reacts with Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2 (dppe) to form [Y][Os
(N)(CH2-SiMe3)2(dppe)(OCrO3)], 2. The structure of 2 was determined by
X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is a catalyst for the oxidation of dppe
to Ph2P(O)CH2CH2P(O)Ph2 with molecular oxygen.
