Abstract

A novel Ta/Os heterobimetallic complex, [Ta(CHBu)(μ-H)OsCp*], 2, is prepared by protonolysis of Ta(CHBu)(CHBu) with Cp*OsH. Treatment of 2 and its iridium analogue [Ta(CHBu)(μ-H)IrCp*], 1, with CO under mild conditions reveal the efficient cleavage of CO, driven by the formation of a tantalum oxo species in conjunction with CO transfer to the osmium or iridium fragments, to form Cp*Ir(CO)H and Cp*Os(CO)H, respectively. This bimetallic reactivity diverges from more classical CO insertion into metal-X (X = metal, hydride, alkyl) bonds.
