Reaction Steps

The preparations of compounds used in this invention are shown in detail below. In general [nBu4N][OsVI(N)Cl4] is reacted with the ligand in a suitable organic solvent, such as methanol, ethanol or dichloromethane. The Schiff base ligands 5-X—H2salpa (salpa=N-salicylidene-2-aminophenol dianions) are synthesized by condensation of the appropriate 2-hydroxybenzyaldehyde with the 2-aminophenol in refluxing ethanol. The Schiff base ligand nalph is synthesized by condensation of the 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with the 2-aminophenol in refluxing ethanol. [NnBu4][OsVI(N)Cl4] were prepared by a literature procedure (Griffith, W. P. and Pawson, D. J. J. Chem. Soc., Dalton Trans. 1973, 1315.).
