The title compound, [OsCl(NO)(C48H36N4)]·4C4H8O, is a six-coordinate osmium(II) porphyrin complex with nitrosyl (NO) and chloride (Cl) ligands trans to each other in an octahedral geometry. The metal complex lies on a fourfold rotation axis that passes through the Os, N, O and Cl atoms. The NO and Cl ligands are disordered in an 0.511 (12):0.486 (12) ratio.

The titled compound was obtained as a sideproduct during the preparation of (TTP)Os(NO)(Me) from the reaction of [(TTP)Os(NO)]PF6 with MeMgCl in THF (Cheng et al. 1998), and crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of a THF-hexane (1:1) solution at room temperature.
The hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.95 Å for aromatic carbons, 0.99 Å for methylene carbons and 0.98 Å for methyl carbons and were refined using a riding model with Uiso = 1.2 Ueq(C) for phenyl H atoms, Uiso = 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms. The compound was made with Cl on one side of the porphyrin ring and NO on the other side of the ring. In the
both ligands appeared to be on both sides of the ring. The Cl on one side of the ring was matched with the NO on the opposite side of the ring in the model. Because the Cl and NO groups were on a 4-fold axis, their occupancies from the two sets of ligands were set to sum to 0.25.Data collection: XSCANS (Siemens, 1994); cell

Six-coordinate osmium nitrosyl porphyrin complexes have been prepared as potential heme-NO structural models (Cheng et al. 2001 and Lee et al. 2001). Compared to their iron derivatives, osmium nitrosyl porphyrin compounds are more thermally stable and more easily characterized spectroscopically. In this paper, we report the structure of (chloro)(nitrosyl)(meso-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(p-tolyl)porphyrinato)osmium with four molecules of tetrahydrofuran as the solvate.
The metal complex is found to sit on a crystallographic 4 axis. The nitrosyl and chloride ligands are disordered across the porphyrin plane. The occupancies of the nitrosyl and chloride ligands refine to 0.511 (12) and 0.486 (12) for the unprimed and primed atoms, respectively. The molecular structure of (TTP)Os(NO)Cl is shown in Figure 1. The nitrosyl group binds to the osmium center through its nitrogen atom, exhibiting a linear Os—N—O conformation (180°). The average Os—Np distance is 2.0622 (19) Å. The average Os—N(O) distance is 1.80 (3) Å and the average Os—Cl distance is 2.208 (8) Å. The average N—O distance is 1.244 (2) Å.
