C60 in the benzonitrile/o-dichlorobenzene
solution at reflux produces Os3(CO)5(μ-NCHPh)(μ3,η5-NCPhC60C(C6H4)N)(μ,η4-C60) (2) and Os3(CO)4(NCPh)(μ-NCHPh)(μ3,η5-NCPhC60C(C6H4)N)(μ,η4-C60) (3), bearing an unprecedented
fullerodiketimide ligand from 1,4-addition of two benzonitrile molecules
to the C60 cage.
