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 (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), utilizing 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 these photochemical and photophysical properties. The complexes of Os(II) represent rare examples of luminescent metal hydride complexes in fluid solution at room temperature.
