Triosmium compounds containing the oxametallacycle [Os(CO)3{C(R)CHC(O)CHC(H)C5H4FeC5H5}] moiety. Synthesis and electrochemical studies

Triosmium compounds containing the oxametallacycle [Os(CO)3{C(R)CHC(O)CHC(H)C5H4FeC5H5})] have been obtained by reaction of the ketene dithioacetal C5H5FeC5H4CHCHC(O)CHC(SCH2CH2S) with Os3(CO)10(NCMe)2. X-ray diffraction and electrochemical studies have been carried out.
