Syntheses and Electronic Behaviors of Osmium‐Organic Moiety Hybrid Materials

Several alternating osmium‐organic moiety hybrid materials were prepared by reacting osmium chloride with organic diols and dithiols. Osmium‐organic moiety units over 60% were thought to be involved in the materials. ESR and XPS spectral analyses indicated that an electron transfer from an organic phenylene moiety to the osmium atom with a partial reduction of the osmium atom took place.
