Abstract
Reaction of OsCl3 with pentamethylcyclopentadiene in ethanol in air yields the ionic osmium(IV) compound [Cp*2OsCl](2)[OsCl6] which has been identifie d structurally and by vibrational spectroscopy. Under comparable conditions the RuCl3 homologue yields the ruthenium(III) compound [Cp*RuCl2](2), illu strating the more facile oxidation of the 5d element to the tetravalent sta te.
