Abstract

Os(Fe(CO)3)2(CO)6 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of twenty-four formaldehyde molecules, four osmium molecules, and eight Fe(CO)3 clusters. In two of the Fe(CO)3 clusters, Fe3+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three C+1.33+ atoms. There are a spread of Fe–C bond distances ranging from 1.78–1.80 Å. There are three inequivalent C+1.33+ sites. In the first C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one Fe3+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the second C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Fe3+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the third C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Fe3+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In six of the Fe(CO)3 clusters, Fe3+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three C+1.33+ atoms. There is two shorter (1.79 Å) and one longer (1.80 Å) Fe–C bond length. There are three inequivalent C+1.33+ sites. In the first C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Fe3+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the second C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Fe3+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the third C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Fe3+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.15 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom.
