The title complex, [Os3(C2H4N)H(CO)10] or [Os3(CO)10(μ-H)(μ-HN=C—CH3-1κN:2κC)], was synthesized in 41.6% yield by reactions between Os3(CO)11(CH3CN) and 2,4,6-trimethylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazine. The central osmium triangle has two OsI atoms bridged by a hydride ligand and a μ-HN= C—CH3-1κN:2κC triazine fragment. Three CO ligands complete the coordination sphere around each OsI atom, while the remaining Os0 atom has four CO ligands. Each Os atom exhibits a pseudo-octahedral coordination environment, discounting the bridging Os—Os bond.
Keywords: crystal structure; osmium trimer; triazine.
Structure description
Previous research (Liu et al., 2003) has shown that 1,3,5-trimethylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazine reacts with Group 8 M3(CO)12 (M = Fe and Ru) to form [(μ-H)M3(CO)11][MeN(MeNCH2)2CH] anionic hydrido clusters, with the transfer of a hydride from the triazine to the metal carbonyl. While Fe and Ru starting materials reacted with the triazine directly, Os3(CO)12 was first converted to Os3(CO)11(CH3CN) to accomplish the same result. Liu and co-workers subsequently reported the products of reactions of Os3(CO)12 with 1,3,5-trimethylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazine, which yielded three products, i.e. a trimer containing a μ-N(CH3)—CH2—N(CH3) triazine fragment and a hydride bridge, a trimer containing a μ3-N(CH3)—CH2—N(CH3) triazine fragment and a hydride bridge, and a dimer with two bridging N(CH3)—CH—N(CH3) fragments perpendicular to one another forming a sawhorse-type complex (Liu et al., 2005). In these complexes, each bridge has a N—C—N backbone. We were interested in further investigating the reactions of Os3(CO)12 and Os3(CO)11(CH3CN) with triazines using microwave heating.
We report here the synthesis and structure of the title complex, Os3(CO)10(μ-H)(μ-HN=C—CH3-1κN:2κC), a trinuclear osmium compound which was the product of reactions between Os3(CO)11(CH3CN) and 2,4,6-trimethylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazine. The product yield was 41.6%. Rather than containing a bridge with an N—C—N backbone, Os3(CO)10(μ-H)(μ-HN=C—CH3-1κN:2κC) contains a μ-HN=C—CH3-1κN:2κC triazine fragment bridge with a N—C backbone and a hydride bridge across two Os atoms in the central osmium triangle. A few related trinuclear structures of iron, ruthenium, and osmium with bridging μ-HN=C—R-1κN:2κC species and nine CO ligands have been reported (Andrews et al., 1978; Dawoodi et al., 1981; Takao et al., 2018). The only previously reported trinuclear structure which has ten CO ligands and the same (μ-)κ2-N,C(H—N=C—R) bridging configuration as the title complex is that for Os3(CO)9PMe2Ph(μ-H)(μ-HN=C—CF3-1κN:2κC) which was synthesized in 4.3% yield by the reaction of H2Os3(CO)9PMe2Ph with CF3CN (Adams et al., 1981).
In the title complex, the bridged OsI atoms (Os1 and Os2) have three terminal CO ligands in addition to the ethylidenimino and hydride ligands, and the Os0 atom (Os3) has four terminal CO ligands (Fig. 1). Each of the three Os atoms exhibits a pseudo-octahedral coordination environment, discounting the bridged Os—Os bond. The individual octahedra of each bridged Os atom are rotated on average by 24 (4)° out of the plane of the osmium traingle toward the mid-point of the metal–metal bond. The Os—Os bond length for the bridged bond is 2.9331 (4) Å, while the unbridged Os—Os bond lengths are shorter, as expected, at 2.8604 (4) and 2.8759 (4) Å. The molecules stack so that the planes containing the triangular Os3 units are roughly perpendicular to the c axis (Fig. 2). A 21 screw axis passes through the centers of the Os3 triangles. Thus, every Os3 unit in the stack is rotated 180° from the one above it and below it so that the triazine fragments of every other molecule are facing in the opposite direction. Although an N—H donor group is present, there is no evidence of classical hydrogen bonding in the crystal.
Synthesis and crystallization
Dodcecacarbonyltriosmium(0) (60.2 mg, 0.066 mmol) and CH3CN (7.5 ml) were placed in a 35 ml glass reaction vessel, then sealed with a PTFE cap and placed in a CEM Discover-SP microwave reactor. The mixture was stirred and heated at 411 K for 9 min to yield a green solution of Os3(CO)11(CH3CN) (Jung et al., 2009). The reaction vessel was removed from the microwave reactor. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. 1,2-Dichloroethane (7 ml) was added to the dry Os3(CO)11(CH3CN). Acetaldehyde ammonia trimer (61.2 mg, 0.474 mmol) was then added to the vessel, which was then sealed with a PTFE cap, and the mixture was stirred and heated in a microwave reactor at 398 K for 20 min to produce a yellow–orange solution. The solvent was then removed by rotary evaporation, and the residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 and subjected to using an mixture of 2.5:1 (v/v) hexanes/CH2Cl2. Two yellow bands were collected. The top band contained 2.1 mg of an unidentified compound and had an RF value of 0.82. IR (νCO, CHCl3): 2103 (w), 2065 (vs), 2050 (m), 2034 (w), 2017 (s), 2001 (m), 1988 (sh) cm−1. The second band consisted of 24.7 mg of the title complex (41.6% yield) and had an RF value of 0.67. IR (νCO, n-hexane): 2105 (w), 2064 (vs), 2052 (s), 2024 (s), 2007 (vs), 1991 (m), 1977 (w) cm−1. 1H NMR (60 MHz, CDCl3): δ 2.18 (s, 3H, CH3), −15.15 (s, 1H, Os—H—Os). Crystals were grown at 277 K via p-xylene vapor diffusion into a CHCl3 solution.
Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure . The crystal under investigation was twinned by and BASF commands were used to refine the parameter for this noncentrosymmetric structure. The bridging hydride ligand and the N-bound H atom were both located in a difference Fourier map. A DFIX command was used to constrain the position of the hydride H atom, while an AFIX command was used to constrain the N-bound H atom.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. An AFIX command was used to constrain the N-bound H atom. A DFIX command was used to constrain the position of hydride H atom. |
