R. Osman et al., PULSED-LASER PHOTOLYSIS OF OS(PP(3))H-2 [PP(3)=P(CH2CH2PPH(2))(3)] - KINETIC SELECTIVITY FOR REACTION WITH METHANE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (4), 1994, pp. 513-514
Transient absorption methods have been used to measure the reaction ki
netics of Os(pp(3)) with hydrocarbons, following photodissociation of
H-2 from Os(pp(3))H-2; the kinetic selectivity per reactive C-H bond f
or pentane over cyclohexane exceeds 80 and that for methane over cyclo
hexane exceeds 520, higher than any observed previously.
