Abstract: The oxidative addition of methane to a model Os(Cl)(2)(PH3)(2) complex was theoretically studied using restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) calculations refined by taking into account electron energy correlation by the MP2 and DFT methods. The calculation predicts the existence of a number of stable isomers of Os(Cl)(2)(PH3)(2). Quantum chemical analysis of methane reactions with three isomers suggests the formation of sigma-complexes (eta(2)-CH4)Os(Cl)(2)(PH3)(2) for some isomers. The pathways of the oxidative addition reaction to three isomers were calculated. The initial tetrahedral isomer forms the most stable sigma-complex with methane, although it is incapable of activating a C-H bond. Only square-pyramidal isomer activates methane by oxidative addition with low activation energy and yields a methylosmium hydride product.
