Abstract

The gas-phase He I and He II excited UV PE spectra of several (X)(Y)Os3(CO)10 cluster derivatives (X, Y = H, OR, SR, Cl, Br) are reported. A qualitative discussion of the spectral data has been made on the basis of MOs that predominantly represent Os-Os bonds, t2g-like nonbonding metallic pairs, or (μ-X)(m-Y)Os2 bridge bonds. Investigation of the He II spectrum was crucial for assignment. The similarity found between the spectrum of H2Os3(CO)10 and those of the two series (H)(Y)Os3(CO)10 and (Y)2Os3(CO)10 points to a very similar bonding pattern in all the compounds. Evidence for a direct weak interaction between the two bridged osmium atoms via the t2g-like set has been reported. This source of Os-Os bonding progressively reduces its importance on going from H2Os3(CO)10 to (H)(Y)Os3(CO)10 and (Y)2Os3(CO)10.
