A series of polypyridyl-hydrido complexes of Os(II) and Ru(II) has been prepared, e.g., cis-(M(bpy)/sub 2/(CO)H)/sup 2 +/ (bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine; M = Ru, Os) and, for example, (Os(phen)(1,2-Ph/sub 2/P)/sub 2/C/sub 6/H/sub 4/)(PPh/sub 3/)H)/sup 2 +/ (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline) based on three different synthetic routes. The complexes have been characterized by nmr (/sup 1/H and /sup 31/P) and by infrared spectroscopy. Initial results are reported on the photochemical and photophysical properties of the complexes. The complexes of Os(II) represent rare examples of luminescent metal-hydrido complexes in fluid solution at room temperature. 2 figures, 1 table.
