Abstract

The complex (μ3-S)(μ3-n2-SCH2)Os3(CO)8[P(CH3)2C6H5] reacts with HCl in an addition process to form the molecule (μ3-S)(μ3-n2-SCH2)(H)Os3(CO)8[P(CH3)2C6H5]Cl. The product was characterized by IR, 1H NMR and x-ray crystallographic methods. The structural analysis shows that the HCl addition has caused a cleavage of one of the metal-metal bonds.
