Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, Laviron's theoretical treatment of cyclic voltammograms for redox species confined to the electrode surface was modified so as to clarify the experimentally accessible physical quantities The resulting equations were applied to the analysis of the redox-electrode reactions in acidic media of surfactant polypyridine osmium and ruthenium complexes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic susceptibilities of a series of cluster carbonyl compounds of osmium have been measured by a high-sensitivity Faraday method and the evolution of certain aspects of "metallic" behaviour in the high-nuclearity clusters is revealed by a steady increase in the excess molecular susceptibility as the cluster size increases.
Abstract: The magnetic susceptibilities of a series of cluster carbonyl compounds of osmium have been measured by a high-sensitivity Faraday method and the evolution of certain aspects of ‘metallic’ behaviour in the high-nuclearity clusters is revealed by a steady increase in the excess molecular susceptibility as the cluster size increases. We also consider here ‘metallic’ status in the cluster compounds of other transition elements.

TL;DR: It has been shown for the first time that conformational junction between contiguous right-handed B and left-handed Z segments can be recognized by a chemical probe.
Abstract: It has been shown for the first time that conformational junction between contiguous right-handed B and left-handed Z segments can be recognized by a chemical probe. Plasmid pRW751 containing (dC-dG)13 and (dC-dG)16 blocks was treated with osmium tetroxide, pyridine (a reagent known to be single-strand selective) at physiological ionic conditions (0.1 and 0.2 M NaCl) and neutral pH. Mapping of the osmium binding sites by restriction enzyme digestion followed by nuclease S1 cleavage has revealed selective binding of osmium at, or near to, the end of the (dC-dG)n segments proximal to the 95 bp lac sequence. The junction of the shorter (dC-dG)13 segment was modified to a substantially greater extent than that of the longer segment. Partial inhibition of DNA cleavage by BamHI was observed at the restriction sites neighbouring to the both (dC-dG)n segments as a result of DNA modification by osmium tetroxide. The site-selective modification occurred only in supercoiled and not in relaxed molecules. Differences in the sensitivity of the B/Z junctions in pRW751 to the osmium tetroxide were explained by different structural features of these junctions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction between the compounds [Os3(µ-H)(µ3-CH)(CO) and [Pt(C2H4)2{P(cyclo-C6H11)3}] in toluene at 80 °C was characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
Abstract: The reaction between the compounds [Os3(µ-H)(µ3-CH)(CO)10] and [Pt(C2H4)2{P(cyclo-C6H11)3}] in toluene at 80 °C affords two cluster complexes, one containing a single platinum atom [Os3Pt(µ-H)2(µ4-C)(CO)10{P(C6H11)3}](1), and the other two platinum atoms, [Os3Pt2(µ-H)2(µ4-C)(µCO)(CO)9{P(C6H11)3}2](2) Both have been characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies Compound (1) contains a triangle of osmium atoms [Os–Os 2828(1)–2906(1)A], with the Pt atom bonded to one osmium [Os(2)–Pt 2764(1)A] The carbido-carbon atom is irregularly bonded [190(2)–221(2)A] to all four metal atoms Each osmium atom is ligated by three terminal carbonyl ligands, whilst the platinum atom is bonded to a terminal carbonyl group and a P(cyclo-C6H11)3 moiety Two hydrido-ligands bridge the Os(1)–Os(3) and Os(1)-Os(2) vectors Compound (2) contains a square-planar arrangement comprising two osmium and two platinum atoms with the third osmium atom [Os(3)] bridging the Os(1)–Os(2) edge The angle between the planes Os(1)Os(2)Pt(1)Pt(2) and Os(1)Os(2)Os(3) is 764° The carbido-carbon atom is approximately equidistant [2065(11)T–2120(10)A] from all five metal atoms, and the metal–metal separations are Os–Os 2855(1)–2917(1), Os–Pt 2929(1)–2935(1), and Pt(1)–Pt(2) 2716(1)A Each osmium atom carries three terminal carbonyl ligands, whilst the platinum atoms are symmetrically bridged by a carbonyl ligand, and each is ligated by a P(cyclo-C6H11)3 group The two hydrido-ligands bridge equivalent edges [Os(1)–Os(3) and Os(2)–Os(3)] The nmr data (1H, 13C-{1H}, and 31P-{1H}) are all consistent with the structures established in the solid state Treatment of [Pt(C2H4)2{P(cyclo-C6H11)3}] with [Os3(µ-H)(µ-COMe)(CO)10] in toluene at ambient temperatures affords a pentanuclear metal complex [Os3Pt2(µ-H)(µ5-C)(µ-OMe)(µ-CO)(CO)9{P(C6H11)3}2](3), the structure of which was again determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction Two platinum and two osmium atoms are arranged in a ‘buckled’ square with the third osmium atom [Os(3)] metal–metal bonded only to Os(1) As in (2), the carbido–metal distances are approximately equal [2075(22)–2144(20)A] Moreover, the metal–metal distances Os–Os [2813(1)–2853(1)A] and Os–Pt [2891(1)–2941(1)A] are rather similar to those in (2) but the Pt–Pt distance [2668(1)A] is noticeably shorter In (3) each osmium atom carries three terminal carbonyl ligands, while a single carbonyl group asymmetrically bridges the two platinum atoms [Pt–µ-CO 2032(23) and 1968(20)A] Each platinum bears a P(cyclo-C6H11)3 group, with the hydrido-ligand bridging the shorter of the two Pt–Os edges [Pt(1)–Os(1)] The nmr spectra are consistent with the structure established in the solid state though some dynamic behaviour is evident

TL;DR: In this article, a process for the preparation of metallic products from metal salts admixed with solvent wherein at least one of the metal salt and the solvent is easily reducible is described. But this process is restricted to the case where at least half of the salt and solvent is reducible.
Abstract: A process is disclosed for the preparation of metallic products from metal salts admixed with solvent wherein at least one of the metal salt and the solvent is easily reducible. The admixture is heated under hypercritical conditions of temperature and pressure to produce metallic products and a hypercritical fluid. The hypercritical fluid is subsequently removed from the reaction zone and the metallic product is collected. The metallic product includes pure metals selected from the group of silver, gold, platinum, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, mercury, arsenic, rhenium, tellurium, iridium, osmium, and copper, and alloys and mixtures thereof. The metallic product ordinarily exists as finely divided powders which may be highly porous.

TL;DR: Reflectance data and photographic evidence are presented to support the hypothesis that the osmium disappearance is due to reaction with oxygen to form a volatile oxide.
Abstract: A number of samples of optical thin film materials were flown on Shuttle flight STS-8 as part of an experiment to evaluate their interaction with residual atomic oxygen in low earth orbit. Osmium was selected because of its usefulness as a reflective optical coating for far-UV instruments and for confirmation of results from previous Shuttle flights in which such coatings disappeared. Reflectance data and photographic evidence are presented to support the hypothesis that the osmium disappearance is due to reaction with oxygen to form a volatile oxide. Platinum and iridium, which were included for comparison, fared much better.
