Whilst [Os(N^N) 3 ] 2+ complexes are supposed to be photochemically inert to ligand loss, the complex [Os(btz) 3 ] 2+ (btz=1,1′‐dibenzyl‐4,4′‐bi‐1,2,3‐triazolyl) undergoes unprecedented photolytic reactivity to liberate free btz ( Φ 363 ≈1.2 %). Further, both cis and trans isomers of the photodechelated ligand‐loss solvento intermediate [Os(κ 2 ‐btz) 2 (κ 1 ‐btz)(NCMe)] 2+ are unambiguously observed and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
