Reaction between Os(BCl2)Cl(CO)(PPh3)2 and 2-hydroxypyridine leads to the replacementof one chloride on the dichloroboryl ligand and coordination of the pyridine nitrogen atomto osmium, leading to the six-coordinate complex Os[BCl(OC5H4N)]Cl(CO)(PPh3)2 (1). Thefive-membered chelate ring so formed is stable and persists through reactions involvingreplacement of chloride both at osmium and at boron. When 1 is treated with anhydrousHI, replacement of chloride at osmium occurs exclusively, leaving the B-Cl bond intact andgiving Os[BCl(OC5H4N)]I(CO)(PPh3)2 (2). However, the following nucleophilic substitutionreactions at boron occur readily in 1: EtOH gives Os[B(OEt)(OC5H4N)]Cl(CO)(PPh3)2 (3),n-BuNH2 gives Os[B(NHn-Bu)(OC5H4N)]Cl(CO)(PPh3)2 (4), and Et3N·3HF gives Os[BF(OC5H4N)]Cl(CO)(PPh3)2 (5). Crystal structures of complexes 2 and 4 are reported.
