Formation of the trinuclear osmium cluster [Os(η-C6H6)(µ-H)]3{µ3-(CH2)3CH} involving activation of the three methyl groups of 2-methylpropane
Abstract
Co-condensation of osmium atoms and a benzene : 2-methylpropane mixture gives [Os(η-C6H6)(µ-H)]3{µ3-(CH2)3CH}; the analogous reaction with C6D6 : 2-methylpropane gives [Os(η-C6D6)(µ-H)]3{µ3-(CH2)3CH}.
