The high-spin iron(III) silsesquioxane complexes [N(nBu)4][(cyclo-C5H9)7Si7O12FeCl] and [N(nBu)4][(cyclo-C5H9)7Si7O12Fe(OSiMe3)] result from the reaction of (cyclo-C5H9)7Si7O9(OH)3 with either [N(nBu)4][FeCl4] or [N(nBu)4][Fe(OSiMe3)4]. Substitution of the terminal chloride or (trimethyl)silanolate ligands with tert-butoxide produces [N(nBu)4][(cyclo-C5H9)7Si7O12Fe(OCMe3)]. Similar substitution reactions with the methyl ester of N-acetylcysteine produce [N(nBu)4][(cyclo-C5H9)7Si7O12Fe{SCH2CH(NHCOCH3)CO2Me}]. A dimeric complex, [(cyclo-C5H9)7Si7O12Fe(NEt3)]2, forms in the reaction of (cyclo-C5H9)7Si7O9(OH)3 with NEt3 and FeCl3. The reaction between (cyclo-C5H9)7Si7O9(OH)2(OSiMe3) and [Ph4P][Os(N)Cl4] forms [PPh4][(cyclo-C5H9)7Si7O11(OSiMe3)Os(N)Cl2], a square-pyramidal Os(VI) complex with a bidentate siloxy ligand.
