The formation of a complex with an osmium‐silver bond precedes the actual electron transfer Os → Ag in the oxidation of trans ‐[Os(CO) 3 (PPh 3 ) 2 ] with Ag(O 2 CCF 3 ) as indicated by the results of electrochemical measurements and the X‐ray structure analysis of the title complex depicted below (the phenyl groups of the phosphine ligands are not shown). This complex can thus be considered a model for intermediates in the oxidation of organometallic compounds by Ag + .
