S. Aime et al., Coordination of an imine ligand on an Os-3 cluster stabilized by intramolecular Os-H---H-N hydrogen bonding, ORGANOMETAL, 18(10), 1999, pp. 2030-2032
The addition of CH3CHO to a chloroform solution of H(mu-H)Os-3(CO)(10)(NH3)
affords the new H(mu-H)Os-3(CO)(10)(HN=CHCH3) derivative where the imine l
igand occupies a terminal position. The stereochemistry of the adduct appea
rs to be determined by the occurrence of an unconventional hydrogen-bond in
teraction involving the N-H moiety and the terminal hydride.
