Abstract

Reaction of OsCl3 with pentamethylcyclopentadiene in EtOH in air yields the ionic Os(IV) compd. Cp*2OsCl2OsCl6 which was identified structurally and by vibrational spectroscopy. Under comparable conditions the RuCl3 homolog yields the Ru(III) compd. Cp*RuCl22, illustrating the more facile oxidn. of the 5d element to the tetravalent state. on SciFinder(R)
