Abstract

Reaction of [OsVI(N)Cl4]- with bis(diphenylarsino)ethane (AsAs) in acetone gave [OsVI(N)Cl3(AsAs)] isolated as an orange solid. The complex (space group P1 (No.2), a=11.512(2), b=14.389(2), c=19.138(4) Å, α=102.97(1), β=94.84(2), γ=110.24(1)°, V=2852.6(9) Å3, Z=4; R=0.062 for 5216 observed Mo Kα data) is a distorted octahedral with three chlorine atoms in a meridional configuration. The measured OsN distances of the two crystallographically independent [OsVI(N)Cl3(AsAs)] molecules are 1.70(1) and 1.66(2) Å. The photoluminescent properties of the osmium complex are discussed. © 1993.
