Synthesis and structural characterization of a novel diosmium(III) compound: Os-2(ap)(4)Cl-2

摘要

The reaction between Os-2(OAc)(4)Cl-2 and Hap (Hap is 2-anilinopyridine) under prolonged refluxing conditions resulted in a new Os-2(III) compound, Os-2(ap)(4)Cl-2 (1). The molecular structure of 1 was determined from a single crystal X-ray diffraction study, which revealed an Os-Os bond length of 2.396[1] Angstrom, and a cis-(2,2) arrangement of the ap ligands. Also reported are magnetic, electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of 1. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. [References: 19]
