Abstract

The diruthenium(II,III) compound [Ru2Cl(O2CC6H4-p-OMe)4](H2O)0.25 (1) has been prepared and its crystal structure determined by X-ray studies. The crystals belong to the triclinic space group, PImage , and the asymmetric unit consists of one full dimer and two half dimers. The {Ru2(O2CC6H4-p-OMe)4+} units are bridged by chloride ions into an infinite zigzag chain, with an average Ru---Cl distance and Ru---Cl---Ru angle of 2.567(2) Å and 121.0(1)°, respectively. The average Ru---Ru distance of 2.286(1) Å in 1 is comparable with that in analogous tetra-alkylcarboxylates, Ru2Cl(O2CR)4 and tetra-amidates, Ru2Cl(ArCONH)4.
