Abstract
The crystal structure of the novel cluster [Os-3(CO)(10)(4,4',5,5'-tetramet hyl-2,2'-biphosphinine)] reveals an unprecedented coordination mode of the biphosphinine ligand that occupies a doubly-bridging position spanning the open osmium triangle. The cluster is photostable, pointing to a localizatio n of the lowest-energy electronic transition largely on the negatively char ged biphosphinine ligand.
