Chemistry of the metal carbonyls. Part LXVI. Complexes derived from a carbonylosmium anion

Abstract
Reduction of dodecacarbonyltriosmium with sodium in liquid ammonia affords a cream solid which reacts with halides to afford complexes Os(CO)4X2(X = Me, H3Ge, Ph3Sn, Me3Pb, and AuPPh3) in good yield, as well as lower yield formation of hydrido-species Os(CO)4(X)(H)(X = Me, H3Ge, Me3Sn). With dimethyltin dichloride the tin–osmium heterocycle [Os(CO)4SnMe2]2 is formed, while protonation affords Os(CO)4H2.
