The dihydridoosmium(II) complexes [(mes)OSH2(L)] (mes = C6H3(CH3)3; L = CO, 4; CNCH3, 5) have been prepared in nearly quantitative yields from [(mes)OsCl2(L)] (L = CO, 1; CNCH 3, 2) and Mg/Hg in THF in the presence of C2H5OH as a proton source. These complexes are suitable for studies of C-H activation by UV irradiation in solution. The FT-IR and Raman spectra of 4 and 5 have been recorded in the range between 400 and 3300 cm-1 and between 100 and 3300 cm-1, respectively; a complete assignment of the observed vibrational modes is presented, supported by polarized Raman spectra. The Os-ligand vibrations of half sandwich complexes of this type have been determined for the first time. A normal coordinate analysis of the osmium-ligand modes has been performed by treating the ring ligand as a point mass. Force constants and potential energy distributions are given.
