The new complexes OsO 4 ·nmo (nmo = N-methylmorpholine N-oxide) and OsO 4 ·nmm (nmm = N-methylmorpholine) have been made, their crystal structures determined, and their possible involvement in the catalysed dihydroxylation of alkenes considered. The use of cis-[OsO 4 (OH) 2 ] 2- as a catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols, aldehydes and alkyl halides to carboxylic acids with [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3- and other co-oxidants and also for the cleavage and dihydroxylation of alkenes with [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3- has been investigated.
