Generation of the metallonium cations [1,2-(CH2)2C5Me3OsC5Me5]2+, [1,1’-(CH2C5Me4)2Os]2+ and [1,2-(CH2)2C5Me3Os(1’-CH2C5Me4)]3+ in the CF3SO3H–O2 system
Abstract:
The title dications and trication were generated from decamethylosmocene and [C5Me5OsC5Me4CH2]+, respectively, by the interaction with dioxygen in CF3SO3H solutions.
