T. Bin Wen et al., Unexpected formation of osmium carbyne and vinylidene complexes from the reaction of OsCl2(PPh3)(3) with HC CCMe3, ORGANOMETAL, 19(19), 2000, pp. 3757-3761
Treatment of OsCl2(PPh3)(3) with HC=CCMe3 produced a mixture of OsCl3(=CCH2
CMe3)-(PPh3)(2) and OsCl(=C=CHCMe3)(C(C=CCMe3)=CHCMe3)(PPh3)(2). The struct
ures of the new complexes have been confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies.
