Solvent-dependent formation of Os(0) complexes by electrochemical reduction of [Os(CO)(2,2'-bipyridine)(L)Cl2]; L = Cl(-), PrCN.
Cyclic voltammetry and ultraviolet-visible/infrared (UV-vis/IR) spectroelectrochemistry were used to study the cathodic electrochemical behavior of the osmium complexes mer-[Os(III)(CO) (bpy)Cl3] (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and trans(Cl)-[Os(II)(CO) (PrCN)(bpy)Cl2] at variable temperature in different solvents (tetrahydrofuran (THF), butyronitrile (PrCN), acetonitrile (MeCN)) and electrolytes (Bu4NPF6, Bu4NCl). The precursors can be reduced to mer-[Os(II)(CO) (bpy(•-))Cl3](2-) and trans(Cl)-[Os(II)(CO)(PrCN) (bpy(•-))Cl2](-), respectively, which react rapidly at room temperature, losing the chloride ligands and forming Os(0) species. mer-[Os(III)(CO) (bpy)Cl3] is reduced in THF to give ultimate…
