Reactions of CS/sub 2/ with H/sub 2/Os/sub 3/(CO)/sub 10/(Ia) and H/sub 2/Os/sub 3/(CO)/sub 9/(P(CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/C/sub 6/H/sub 5/) (Ib) are reported. To produce dicluster complexes (..mu..-S/sub 2/CH/sub 2/)(HOs/sub 3/(CO)/sub 9/L)/sub 2/ (L = CO, IIa; L = P(CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/C/sub 6/H/sub 5/, IIb). IIa has space group P1, a = 10.093 (3) A, ..beta.. = 13.289 (2) A, c = 13.865 (3) A, ..cap alpha.. = 84.53 (2)/sup 0/, b = 75.44(2)/sup 0/, ..gamma.. = 88.24 (2)/sup 0/, Z = 2, rho = 3.30 g/cm/sup 3/. IIa contains a methanedithiolato ligand linking two triosmium clusters. The S-C-S angle is tetrahedral. A dithioformato complex (..mu..-S/sub 2/CH)HOs/sub 3/(CO)/sub 9/(P(CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/C/sub 6/H/sub 5/) (IIIb) and a thioformaldehyde complex (..mu..-SCH/sub 2/)(..mu../sub 3/-S)Os/sub 3/(CO)/sub 9/(P(CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/C/sub 6/H/sub 5/) (IVb) were also isolated from the reaction of Ib with CS/sub 2/. IVb has space group P2/sub 1//c, a = 10.001 (2) A, b = 13.523 (3) A, c = 18.660 (5) A, ..beta.. = 91.26 (2)/sup 0/, Z = 4, rho = 2.74 g/cm/sup 3/. IVb contains a thioformaldehyde ligand which is ..pi.. bonded to one osmium atom C-S = 1.79 (1) A while the sulfur atom simultaneously serves as a bridge across two osmium atoms. It also contains a triply-bridging inorganic sulfide ligand in a cluster of three osmium atoms which has only one osmium-osmium bond. When heated, both IIIb and IVb decarbonylate to form the complex (..mu../sub 3/-eta/sup 2/-SCH/sub 2/)(..mu../sub 3/-S)Os/sub 3/(CO)/sub 8/(P(CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/C/sub 6/H/sub 5/) (Vb). Vb has space group P1, at -35/sup 0/C, a = 9.103 (4) A, b = 11.722 (4) A, c = 11.819 (2) A, ..cap alpha.. = 71.87 (2)/sup 0/, ..beta.. = 79.66 (2), ..gamma.. = 82.20 (3)/sup 0/, Z = 2, rho/sub calcd/ = 2.86 g/cm/sup 3/. Vb contains a triply-bridging thioformaldehyde ligand with the sulfur atom directly bridging two osmium atoms and the carbon atom bonded solely to the third. The C-S distance is 1.869 (6) A. Vb also contains a triply-bridging inorganic sulfide ligand, but unlike IVb the cluster has two osmium-osmium bonds.
