Oxo‐like reactivity exists for a new series of osmium complexes such as [Os IV (bpy)(Cl) 3 (NCN)] − (bpy=2,2′‐bipyridine, see structure) containing the cyanoimido ligand. This ligand is formed directly at the metal center by the reaction of Os VI –nitrido precursors with tetraethylammonium cyanide. In the cyanoimido complexes there is an extensive electron‐transfer chemistry at the metal center and an extensive functional‐group chemistry based on the ligand.
