Materials Data on Os(CO)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Os(CO)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight Os(CO)4 clusters. In four of the Os(CO)4 clusters, Os2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four C+2.50+ atoms. There are a spread of Os–C bond distances ranging from 1.91–1.96 Å. There are four inequivalent C+2.50+ sites. In the first C+2.50+ site, C+2.50+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Os2- and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the second C+2.50+ site, C+2.50+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one Os2- and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.17 Å. In the third C+2.50+ site, C+2.50+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Os2- and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the fourth C+2.50+ site, C+2.50+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Os2- and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+2.50+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+2.50+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+2.50+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+2.50+ atom. In four of the Os(CO)4 clusters, Os2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four C+2.50+ atoms. There are a spread of Os–C bond distances ranging from 1.90–1.96 Å. There are four inequivalent C+2.50+ sites. In the first C+2.50+ site, C+2.50+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one Os2- and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the second C+2.50+ site, C+2.50+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Os2- and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the third C+2.50+ site, C+2.50+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Os2- and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å.

In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+2.50+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+2.50+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+2.50+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+2.50+ atom.
