Syntheses and Crystal Structures of the Nitridodiolato Osmates(VI) PPh₄OsNCl₂(O₂C₂H₄)] and PPh₄OsNCl₂(O₂C₂Me₄)] · 2 THF The title compounds were prepared by the reaction of PPh₄OsNCl₄] with glycole and pinacole, respectively, in CH₂Cl₂ and THF, respectively, in the presence of triethylamine, forming orange-red single crystals. According to the crystal structure determinations the compounds have ionic structures. In the anions the nitrido ligand occupies the apical position of the distorted tetragonal pyramid, and the two chlorine atoms and the two oxygen atoms of the diolato ligands are in equatorial positions.
