Abstract

The common precursor 1 to the pyrolysis products of [Os3(CO)10(NCMe)2] (2 and 3) was isolated when the reaction was performed under less extreme conditions. The pyrolysis of 1 itself (counterion Ph4P+) at 300oC gave 2 and 3 in good yield, proving its intermediacy in the reaction. The identification of 1 is a key contribution to the understanding of cluster assembly. (Figure Presented.)
