Bis[1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane-P,P']chloroosmium(II) Hexafluorophosphate Dichloromethane Solvate

The cation molecule of the title compound, [OsCl(C₂₆H₂₄P₂)₂]PF₆.1.5CH₂Cl₂, has a distorted trigonalbipyramidal structure. Despite strong steric repulsion between the PPh₂ groups, the Os-P bonds in the equatorial plane are short [2.2416 (12) and 2.2587 (13) Å] and the P-Os-P angle is only 94.24 (5)°.
