Diarylamine‐substituted osmanaphthalyne complexes that feature two redox centers linked by the rigid skeleton of the metallacycle (C^C+), specifically, [OsCl2(PPh3)2{(C^C+)NAr2}][BF4−] (Ar=Ph (1 a),p‐MeOPh (1 b)) and their open‐ring precursors [OsHCl2(PPh3)2{(≡C−C(PPh3+)=CHPh)NR2}][BF4−] (Ar=Ph (2 a),p‐MeOPh (2 b)), were successfully synthesized and characterized by1H,13C, and31P NMR spectroscopy, ESI‐MS, and elemental analysis. The solid‐state molecular structures of complexes1 aand2 awere ascertained by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The Os≡C bond length in both complexes1 aand2 afell within the range reported for similar osmanaphthalynes and osmium carbyne complexes, respectively. The structural parameters determined for complex1 a, which were successfully reproduced by theoretical calculations, point to a π‐delocalized metallacycle structure. The purple color of compounds1 aandbwas explained by the diarylamine→Os(metallacycle) charge‐transfer absorption in the visible region. The neutral, one‐electron‐oxidized and one‐electron‐reduced states of compounds1 a,b, and a reference complex that lacked the diarylamine substituent, [OsCl2(PPh3)2{(C^C+)}][BF4−] (1′), were investigated by cyclic and square‐wave voltammetry, UV/Vis/NIR spectroelectrochemistry, and DFT calculations. The spin density in singly oxidized complexes [1 a]+and [1 b]+predominantly resided on the aminyl segment, with osmium involvement controlled by the diphenylamine substitution. Spin density in stable, singly‐reduced [1′]−was distributed mainly over the osmanaphthalyne metallacycle.
