The hexahydride complex OsH6(PiPr3)2 (1) activates the C–OMe bond of 1-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloride (2), in addition to promoting the direct metalation of the imidazolium group, to afford a five-coordinate OsCl(acyl-NHC)(PiPr3)2 (3) compound. The latter coordinates carbon monoxide, oxygen, and molecular hydrogen to give the corresponding carbonyl (4), dioxygen (5), and dihydrogen (6) derivatives. Complex 3 also promotes the heterolytic bond activation of pinacolborane (HBpin), using the acyl oxygen atom as a pendant Lewis base. The hydride ligand and the Bpin substituent of the Fischer-type carbene of the resulting complex 7 activate the O–H bond of alcohols and water. As a consequence, complex 3 is a metal ligand cooperating catalyst for the generation of molecular hydrogen, by means of both the alcoholysis and hydrolysis of pinacolborane, via the intermediates 7 and 6.Financial support from the MINECO of Spain (Projects CTQ2014-52799-P and CTQ2014-51912-REDC), the Diputación General de Aragón (E-35), and the European Social Fund (FSE) and FEDER.
