Characterisation of an osmium cluster carbonyl containing a weakly co-ordinated amine ligand; X-ray crystal and molecular structure of [Os3(CO)9(NO)2(NMe3)]
Abstract
The X-ray structure of the first trialkylamine metal cluster, [Os3(CO)9(NO)2(NMe3)], has been determined; the large steric requirements of the trialkylamine is reflected in the long Os–N distance of the co-ordinated group.
