Synthesis and magnetic properties of polymeric complexes containing ruthenium(II)-ruthenium(III) tetracarboxylato units linked by cyanato, thiocyanato, and selenocyanato ligands

Magnetic and liquid-crystalline properties of chlorido- and cyanato-bridged chain complexes of mixed-valent dinuclear ruthenium(ii,iii) 3,4,5-trialkoxybenzoates

A series of cyanato-bridged chain complexes of mixed-valent dinuclear ruthenium(ii,iii) 3,4,5-trialkoxybenzoates, [Ru₂{3,4,5-(n-C_mH_2m+1O)₃C₆H₂CO₂}₄(X)]_n (X = OCN, Cl; m = 2–18), were synthesized.

One-dimensional coordination polymers of [Co3(dpa)4](2+) and [MF6](2-) (M = Re(IV), Zr(IV) and Sn(IV))

One-dimensional coordination polymers of alternating metal-metal bonded trinuclear [Co3(dpa)4](2+) (dpa = the anion of 2,2'-dipyridylamine) building blocks and [ReF6](2-) (1), [ZrF6](2-) (2) or [SnF6](2-) (3) linkers have been self-assembled and crystallographically characterized. Magnetic measurements reveal a significant ferromagnetic coupling (J/k(B) = +9.9 K) between S = 1/2 {Co3(6+)} and S = 3/2 Re(IV) magnetic sites through a single, unsupported fluoride bridge in 1.

Magnetic and Electronic Properties of Three New Hetero-Bimetallic Coordination Frameworks [Ru2(O2CR)4][Au(CN)2] (R = Benzoic Acid, Furan-2-carboxylate, or Thiophen-2-carboxylate)

The crystal structures and magnetic and electronic properties of three new hetero-bimetallic coordination frameworks, [Ru2(O2CR)4][Au(CN)2] (R = phenyl (1(Ph)), 2-furan (1(Furan)), and 2-thiophene (1(Thio)), have been characterised. Through variation of the functionalised carboxylate group, both the one-dimensional chain structure and properties of the frameworks have been systematically modulated. The magnetic behaviour for each framework has been modelled with a zero-field splitting model and the presence of weak inter-dimer coupling was assessed.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Spectral and Magnetic Properties of Chloro-Bridged Chain Complex of Dinuclear Ruthenium(II,III) 3,4,5-Triethoxybenzoate

A chloro-bridged chain complex constructed from paddlewheel-type dinuclear ruthenium(II,III) carboxylate units, [Ru2{3,4,5-(C2H5O)3C6H2CO2}4Cl]n·1.2nC2H5OH (1·1.2nC2H5OH), was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and IR and UV-vis spectroscopies. The single-crystal X-ray analysis showed that the complex forms a zig-zag chain structure, in which the chloroligands bridge the dinuclear units at the axial positions with the Ru1–Cl–Ru2 angle of 120.38(7)°. A broad band around 1144 nm and a band at 475 nm were observed in the diffused reflectance spectra and ascribed to a δ→δ* and a π(RuO, Ru2)→π*(Ru2) transitions, respectively. Temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility showed that the antiferromagnetic interaction between the dinuclear units is weak (zJ = −0.8 cm−1) with D value of 60 cm−1.
