IIM-A introduces 10 EWS seats for this academic year

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.

The complexes bis­(acetyl­acetonato-κ2O,O')(N,N,N',N'-tetra­methyl­ethylenedi­amine-κ2N,N')manganese(II), [Mn(C5H7O2)2(C6H16N2)], bis­(acetyl­acetonato-κ2O,O')(N,N,N',N'-tetra­methyl­ethylenedi­amine-κ2N,N')iron(II), [Fe(C5H7O2)2(C6H16N2)], and bis­(acetyl­acetonato-κ2O,O')(N,N,N',N'-tetra­methyl­ethylenedi­amine-κ2N,N')zinc(II), [Zn(C5H7O2)2(C6H16N2)], were synthesized from the reaction of the corresponding metal acetyl­acetonates [M(acac)2(H2O)2] with N,N,N',N'-tetra­methyl­ethylenedi­amine (TMEDA) in toluene. Each of the complexes displays a central metal atom which is nearly octa­hedrally surrounded by two chelating acac and one chelating TMEDA ligand, resulting in an N2O4 coordination set. Despite the chemical similarity of the complex units, the packing patterns for compounds 1–3 are different and thus the crystal structures are not isotypic.
