Esteruelas, Miguel A. Fernández, Israel López, Ana M. Mora, Malka Oñate, Enrique Preparation, Structure, Bonding, and Preliminary Reactivity of a Six-Coordinate d<sup>4</sup> Osmium–Boryl Complex The d<sup>4</sup> ML<sub>6</sub> bis-boryl complex OsH­(Bcat)<sub>2</sub>Cl­(P<sup>i</sup>Pr<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (Bcat = catecholborate) has been prepared by the reaction of OsH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>(P<sup>i</sup>Pr<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> with HBcat, via the monoboryl intermediate OsH<sub>2</sub>(Bcat)­Cl­(P<sup>i</sup>Pr<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>, and its structure determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The Os–B bonds and the stability and disposition of the boryl ligands have been analyzed by DFT calculations. The bis-boryl complex loses HBcat to give Os­(Bcat)­Cl­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(P<sup>i</sup>Pr<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>, under a CO atmosphere.
