The complexes [Os3(CO)9( μ3- η2: η2: η2-C70)] and [Re3( μ-H)3(CO)9( μ3- η2: η2: η2-C70)] have been prepared by reaction of C70 with [Os3(CO)10(NCMe)2] or [Re3( μ-H)3(CO)11(NCMe)] and their electrochemical properties studied by cyclic voltammetry in chlorobenzene solutions. The complex [Re3( μ-H)3(CO)8(CNCH2Ph)( μ3- η2: η2: η2-C70)] has also been synthesised by reaction between [Re3( μ-H)3(CO)9( μ3- η2: η2: η2-C70)] and PhCH2N=PPh3.
