C-H Bond Activation of the Methyl Group of the Supporting Ligand in an Osmium(III) Complex upon Reaction with H2O2: Formation of an Organometallic Osmium(IV) Complex
Oxidation of the hydroxoosmium(III) complex resulted in C H bond activation of the methyl group of the supporting ligand (N,N'-dimethyl-2,11-diaza[3.3](2,6)pyridinophane). The product was an osmium(IV) complex exhibiting a seven-coordinate structure with an additional Os-CH2 bond.
