Hexahydride OsH6(PiPr3)2 (1) releases H2 to form the isomeric tetrahydrides 2a and 2b of general formula OsH4(PiPr3)2. Tetrylenes E{N(SiMe3)2}2 (E = Ge, Sn) are able to selectively trap these isomers distinguishing between them. Tetrylene Ge{N(SiMe3)2}2 catches 2b to generate OsH4{Ge[N(SiMe3)2]2}(PiPr3)2 (3), which has a piano stool geometry, while Sn{N(SiMe3)2}2 captures 2a to give OsH4{Sn[N(SiMe3)2]2}(PiPr3)2 (4) with the donor atoms defining a pentagonal bipyramid around the osmium center.
