(η6-Arene)osmium chemistry: crystal structure of [(η6-C6H3Me3)Os(µ-CHC6H3Me2-3,5)Os(η6-C6H3Me3)]
Abstract
Co-condensation of osmium atoms with benzene gives stable Os(η6-C6H6)(η4-C6H6) whereas co-condensation of osmium atoms with mesitylene forms the dimers[(η6-C6H3Me3)Os(µ-H)2(µ-CHC6H3Me2-3,5)Os(η6-C6H3Me3)] and [(η6-C6H3Me3)Os(µ-CHC6H3Me2-3,5)Os(η6-C6H3Me3)].
