N2  - The crystal and molecular structures of Os3(&#181;3-Me3SiC2C&#8801;CSiMe3)(&#181;-OMe)2(CO)9, obtained serendipitously from a reaction between complex Os3(&#181;3-Me3SiC2C&#8801;CSiMe3)(&#181;-CO)(CO)9 and OsBr(PPh3)2Cp, are reported. The Os3 cluster core has opened as a result of one CO ligand being replaced by two OMe groups to form a 52-electron complex with only one Os&#8211;Os bond. The two non-bonded Os&#8211;Os vectors are each bridged by an OMe group, while the geometry of the C2Os3 fragment is little changed from that found in Os3 (3-PhC2C&#8801;CPh)(-CO)(CO)9.
