Oxidative-addition of germanium-hydrogen bonds to triosmium centers: Reactions of Os3(CO)10(μ-dppm) and Os3(CO)8(μ3-Ph2PCH2P(Ph)C6H4)(μ-H) with Ph3GeH

Reactivity of the triosmium clusters Os3(CO)10(μ-dppm) and Os3(CO)8(μ3-Ph2PCH2P(Ph)C6H4)(μ-H) toward Ph3GeH have been investigated leading to the isolation of three new triosmium clusters containing triphenylgermanium ligand(s).149
