Abstract

The crystal and molecular structure of PPN[Os₃(CO)₁₀(NO)] (PPN = [P(C₆H₅)₃]₂N⁺) has been determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system in space group P2¹/c with a = 16.848 (2) Å, b = 17.015 (2) Å, c = 17.740 (2) Å, β = 107.25 (1)^°, and ρ(calcd) = 1.94 g cm^-3 for Z = 4 with molecular weight 1419.26. Diffraction data were recorded on a Stoe-Siemens diffractometer, and the structure was refined to R = 0.045 for 6261 observed diffractometer data. The three osmium atoms lie at the vertices of an isoceles triangle with the nitrosyl ligand bridging the shorter Os-Os edge. The arrangement of the three terminal carbonyl groups bound to each of the metal atoms bridged by the nitrosyl ligand is different from that in the saturated HOs₃(CO)₁₀(X) clusters, and the bridged Os-Os bond length of 2.751 (1) Å is shorter than that found in any of these related neutral species. This difference between the two types of systems may be attributed to the absence of a bridging hydride in the anion. The lack of this hydride is also proposed to be responsible for the lower activation barrier for CO scrambling observed in [Os₃(CO)₁₀(NO)]^-.
