Abstract
The use of reduced overlap population (ROP) analysis from EHMO calculations as a means to gauge the presence of metal-metal bonds in triosmium clusters is examined. A number of triosmium clusters containing bridging ligands have been used as test cases, including the bis-ethoxy bridged cluster Os 3(μ-OEt)2(CO)10, 1b, and some of its group 15 derivatives Os3(μ-OEt)2(CO)9(EPh 3), 2. These latter clusters are newly synthesized and have been characterized completely, including by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic studies.
