•Biosmocenium-Cl adduct and biosmocenium-Br adduct were synthesized.•The structures of each biosmocenium salt were determined by single crystal X-ray structural analysis.•The intramolecular electron exchange reaction between OsII and Os IV was observed by 1H NMR.•The activation energy of the electron exchange reaction was determined.•The activation energy decreased in the order I > Br > Cl of halogen ligand bonded to Os center.
The mixed-valence biosmocenium(II, IV)–Cl adduct [(C5H5)OsII(μ2-η5:η5-C10H8) (C5H5)OsIVCl]Y(1a:YPF6, 1b:YBF4) and biosmocenium-Br adduct [(C5H5)OsII(μ2-η5:η5-C10H8) (C5H5)OsIVBr]PF6(2) were prepared. The structures of 1b and 2 were determined by single crystal X-ray analysis, and it was found that Os-X bond was fixed on cis position to the other half of osmocenyl moiety. Although 1b and 2 had the trapped-valence state in solid state, valence-detrapping depending on temperature was observed in solution state by using variable-temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy. It was found that intramolecular electron exchange reaction OsII–OIV ⇄ OsIV–OsII occurred accompanied by halogen migration. The activation energy of the reaction was determined. The energy decreased in the order A > 2 > 1a depending on a kind of halogen ligand bonded to Os center, and the tendency can be explained by HSAB theory.
