Synthesis of [Os5(CO)15]2–, [HOs5(CO)15], and [H2Os5(CO)15]; X-ray crystal structure of [(Ph3P)2N]+[HOs5(CO)15]

Abstract
The complex [Os6(CO)13] reacts with methanolic potassium hydroxide to produce [Os5(CO)15]2– which, upon acidification, gives [HOs5(CO)15] and [H2Os5(CO)15]; single crystal X-ray diffraction and 13C n.m.r. studies show the presence, within the anionic pentaosmium clusters, of trigonal bipyramidal metal arrangements.
