ChemInform Abstract: N‐Thionitrosamine Complexes: Substitution Reactions of Complexes (MCl(C6H4Me‐p)(CO)(PPh3)2(SNNMe2)) (M: Ru or Os) and the Crystal Structure of (OsCl(C6H4Me‐p)(CO)(PPh3)2(SNNMe2)).

Abstract

ChemInform Abstract The substitution reactions of the title complexes (I) with CO and 2-xylyl isocyanide (II), NaN3 (III), or tert. butyl cyanide (VI) giving the derivatives (III), (IV), and (VII), respectively, are described and rationalized with reference to an X-ray structure analysis of the starting Os complex (Ia) (space group P21/n Z=4). This complex reveals a comparatively short Os-S bond and a long Os-Cl bond (no yields given).
