Synthesis of the carbido cluster [Os10(CO)24C]2? and the X-ray structure of [Os10(CO)24C][(Ph3P)2N]2

Abstract
The carbido dianion [Os10(CO)24C]2– has been isolated from the pyrolysis of Os3(CO)11(py)(py = pyridine), and the pyrolysis of Os3(CO)12; an X-ray structural analysis of the [(Ph3P)2N]+ salt has shown a tetrahedral arrangement of ten metal atoms that is a fragment of a cubic close packed array.
