Abstract

On highly hydroxylated silica, Os3(CO)12, H2Os3(CO)10 or Os6(CO)18 are simply physisorbed at room temperature. At 150°C there is an oxidative addition of the surface SiOH group to the OsOs bond of Os3(CO)12 with formation of the surface species: HOs3(CO)10(OSi). Such a structure was confirmed by the synthesis of the model compound HOs3(CO)10(OSi Ph3). When the physisorbed clusters Os3(CO)12, H2Os3(CO)10, Os6(CO)18 or the chemisorbed clusters HOs3(CO)10(OSi{A figure is presented}), are heated at 200°C, a breakdown of the cluster frame occurs, with formation of osmium(II) carbonyl species of the type [Os(CO)2 (OSi{A figure is presented})2]n or [Os(CO)3(OSi{A figure is presented})2]2. Similar reactions are observed on alumina.
