Reaction of pentafluoronitrosobenzene with [Os3H(μ-H) (CO)10(MPh3) ](M = P, As, Sb): Synthesis and X-ray structure of [Os3(μ-H) (CO) 10(PPh3)(ONC6F4O)

Abstract The pentafluoronitrosobenzene C 6 F 5 NO has been shown from infrared spectral, 19 F NMR spectral and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies to undergo oxidation at the para -position upon reaction with [OS 3 H(μ-H)(CO) 10 (PPh 3 )] to afford [OS 3 (μ-H)(CO) 10 (PPh 3 )(ONC 6 F 4 O)](I). The arsenic- and stibine- analogues of I [(OS 3 )(μ-H)(CO) 10 (MPh 3 )(XONC6F40)l (M = As, Sb)) were also isolated.
