Os{sub 3}(CO){sub 9}({mu}{sub 3}-CO)({mu}{sub 3}-S) and Os{sub 3}(CO){sub 10}({mu}-SPh)({mu}-H) were found to react with NMe{sub 3} to yield the complex Os{sub 3}-(CO){sub 8}(C(H)NMe{sub 2})({mu}{sub 3}-S)({mu}H){sub 2} (1a) in yields of 31% and 26%, respectively. Os{sub 3}(CO){sub 10}({mu}CNMe{sub 2})({mu}-H) was found to react with H{sub 2}S to yield 1a in 36% yield. Compound 1a was analyzed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and was found to contain a secondary (dimethylamino)carbene ligand terminally coordinated to a sulfur-bridged triosmium cluster. 1e was decarbonylated at 145{degree}C to give Os{sub 3}(CO){sub 7}(C(H)N(Et)(CH{sub 2}){sub 2}NMe{sub 3})({mu}{sub 3}-S)({mu}-H){sub 2} (2e) in 41% yield. Compound 2e was characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and was found to contain a terminally coordinated C(H)N(Et)(CH{sub 2}){sub 2}NMe{sub 2} carbene ligand chelated to the cluster through coordination of the NMe{sub 2} group. A mechanism is proposed that involves iminium ligand intermediates that couple to the carbene ligand to form a nitrogen-containing metallacycle.
