Reassignment of the structure of M3(CO)12(Cl)(SnCl3) (M = Ru, Os)
Keyword(s):
Reaction of M3(CO)12 (M=Ru, Os) with SnCl4 in benzene at room temperature affords M3(CO)12(Cl)(SnCl3) in essentially quantitative yield. The 13C nmr spectra of these complexes indicate they have a ClM3(SnCl3) arrangement of atoms with the Cl ligand cis and the SnCl3 group trans to a linear Os3 chain. This is contrary to previously proposed structures for these compounds. The 13C nmr spectrum of Os3(CO)12(I)2 which has the iodo ligands cis to the Os3 chain is also reported for comparison. Keywords: ruthenium–tin, osmium–tin, osmium–iodine, l3C nmr spectroscopy.
