Abstract
Kinetic deuterium isotope effects have been observed on the axial-radial carbonyl exchange process at hydride-bridged metal atoms in (μ-H)Os3(CO)10L (L = P(C6H6)3, CN-t-Bu) and (μ-H)Ru3(CO)9(μ3-C2-t-Bu) by variable-termperature and 13C NMR techniques. In (μ-H)2Os3(CO)10 this effect is not observed. Kinetic deuterium isotope effects have also been measured directly on the site exchange of the magnetically inequivalent hydrides in (μ-H)2Ru3(CO)9(μ3-CH=C-t-Bu)2+, for the mono-and dideuterio derivatives by 1H and 2H NMR. The meaning of these isotope effects for the particular ligand migrations involved is discussed.
