Complexes OsCl(3){dbf(P(i)Pr(2))(2)} [1; dbf(P(i)Pr(2))(2) = 4,6-bis(diisopropylphosphino)dibenzofuran], OsCl(3){xant(P(i)Pr(2))(2)} [2; xant(P(i)Pr(2))(2) = 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene], and OsCl(3){xant(PPh(2))(2)} [3; xant(PPh(2))(2) = 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)xanthene] have been obtained in high yield by the reaction of the corresponding diphosphine with OsCl(3)·3H(2)O. The ruthenium(III) counterparts RuCl(3){dbf(P(i)Pr(2))(2)} (4), RuCl(3){xant(P(i)Pr(2))(2)} (5), and RuCl(3){xant(PPh(2))(2)} (6) are similarly obtained from RuCl(3)·3H(2)O in moderate yields. The X-ray structures of dbf(P(i)Pr(2))(2) and complexes 1-3 are also reported.
