The crystal and molecular structure of racemic [Os(en)3] (CF3SO3)3.H2O has been determined. The [Os(en)3]3+ ion adopts a le ξob configuration and has approximate C2 symmetry with an Os-N(av.) bond length of 2.11 � and a bite angle for the chelate of - 82�. The previously recorded structure of the [Os(en-H)2(en)]2+ ion in which two deprotonated ethane-1,2-diamine ligands adoptoa cis configuration of the two amido donors, and in which the OsIV -N( amido ) bonds (1.90 �) are much shorter than the Os-N(amine) bonds, 2.11 ( cis ), 2.19 (trans), along with the present structure indicates a bond order > 1 for the osmiumo amido bond. The normal Os-N bond lengths fall into well defined ranges OS-NR3 (2.11-2.14 �), Os=NR2- (~1.90 �),Os=NR2 (- 1.70 �) and Os=N3-(- 1.58-1.63 �). These single bond lengths are more affected by trans effects than the formal oxidation state of the osmium centre.
