Hydrogenation and fluxional behaviour of H2Os3(CCH2)(CO)9, a vinylidene complex derived from ethylene
Abstract
Preliminary crystallographic data for the complex H2Os3(CCH2)(CO)9 derived from ethylene and Os3(CO)12 are given and the mechanisms of its fluxional behaviour and hydrogenation to give H3Os3(CCH3)(CO)9 are discussed.
