The preparation, characterisation, and some reactions of [Os3(CO)11-(NCMe)]

Abstract
The cluster [Os3(CO)11(NCMe)] has been prepared from the reaction of [Os3(CO)12] with NMe3O in the presence of MeCN. This cluster reacts with ligands L (L = CO, PPh3, CH3C6H4SO2CH2NC-p, C2H4, or C5H5N) to produce [Os3(CO)11L] derivatives and with HX (X = Cl, Br, or I) to form [Os3(CO)11HX], [Os3(CO)10HX](X = Cl, Br, or I) and [Os3(CO)9HX](X = I). Evidence for the formation of an uncharacterised intermediate, possibly [Os3(CO)11(NCMe)H]X, is also presented. Possible structures of these complexes are also discussed.
