Abstract

Small modifications on the co-ligands of complexes containing two coordinated hydrogen atoms can determine the elongated dihydrogen versus compressed dihydride nature of these species and therefore their chemical behavior. 2,6-diphenylpyridine favors the formation of the osmium(IV) cation [OsH
