isolated as yellow prisms of [Ph4P] 3 [OsIII (CN) 6]⊙ 6H2O (1). This species crystallizes in
the triclinic space group P 1̄ with cell parameters a= 13.7609 (11) Å, b= 16.2275 (13) Å, c=
17.0895 (14) Å, α= 91.4040 (10)°, β= 109.3600 (10)°, γ= 102.3970 (10)°, V= 3497.4 (5) Å3,
and Z= 2. The slightly distorted octahedral moiety displays Os− C and C− N bond lengths
that average 2.058 and 1.146 Å, respectively. Spin− orbit-coupling splitting of the ground …
