Synthesis and structure of the dimethyl sulfide complexes [OsX4(dms)2] (Х = Cl, Br) and [Os2OCl6(dms)4]
摘要
A systematic study of the thermal decomposition of osmium(IV) complexes [H(dmso)2]2[OsX6] and [H(dmso)2][OsX5(dmso)] (dmso = dimethylsulfoxide; X = Cl, Br) was carried out. According to column chromatography (CC) data, the major thermolysis products in the temperature range of 100–140 ℃ (X = Cl) and 80–120 ℃ (X = Br) are the dimethyl sulfide (dms) osmium(IV) complexes trans-[OsX4(dms)2] (X = Cl, Br) with yields of up to 85% (X = Cl) and 95% (X = Br). It also yielded a small amount of the dinuclear complex [Os2OCl6(dms)4]. IR spectra of [OsX4(dms)2] support the assumed trans conformation, 1H NMR spectra show only one signal for the dms ligands. UV − Vis absorption spectra allowed to trace different species within distinct CC fractions, with the first fraction agreeing with the isolated crystalline material [OsX4(dms)2]. The structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The two polymorphic modifications were found for trans-[OsCl4(dms)2]. The dinuclear [Os2OCl6(dms)4] includes an oxide bridge between two trans-[OsCl3(dms)2] fragments.
