Monothioether Complexes of Osmium: The <i>trans</i>-[OsBr<sub>4</sub>(SR<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] Family and <i>mer</i>-[OsBr<sub>3</sub>(SR<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>] Precursors
The first family of trans-[(OsBr4)-Br-IV(SR2)(2)] complexes incorporating monothioethers has been synthesized by oxidative bromination of mer-[(OsBr3)-Br-III(SR2)(3)]; bond length and reduction potential trends are scrutinized.
