Abstract

Reaction of the labile triosmium cluster [Os₃(CO)₁₀(NCMe)₂] with the thienyl substituted diyne [(C₄H₃S)C₂C₂(C₄H₃S)] affords [Os₃(CO)₁₀{μ₃-η²-(C₄H₃S)C₂C₂(C₄H₃S)}] 1 and the novel co-linear cluster [Os₃(CO)₁₁{μ₃-η⁴-(C₄H₃S)C₂C₂(C₄H₃S)}] 2 in reasonable yield; the X-ray structure of 2 shows that the diyne is coordinated to an ‘open’ triosmium unit as a 1,2,3-triene-1,4-diyl unit with essentially equal C [double bond, length half m-dash] C bond distances.
