Abstract

Fine yellowish orange crystals of the binuclear complex K2[RuNO(NO2)3(μ-OH)]2 were obtained by the reaction of K2[RuNO(NO2)4OH] with a stoichiometric amount of 0.8 M nitric acid at room temperature. The compound was investigated by IR spectroscopy, X-ray phase analysis (DRON-3M, CuKα radiation), and X-ray diffraction analysis (Nonius CAD-4, MoKα radiation, graphite monochromator, ω scan mode, 1406 reflections). The crystals are poorly soluble in water and practically insoluble in ethanol and acetone; the compound is stable when stored in air. Crystal data for H2K2N8O16Ru2 are: a = 8.596(2), b = 10.111(1), c = 9.537(1) Å, β = 104.42(1)°, V = 802.8(2) Å3, space group \(P2_1 {\kern 1pt} /{\kern 1pt} c\), Z = 2, ρ calc = 2.691 g/cm3. The structure is built of [RuNO(NO2)3(μ-\(OH)]_2^{2 - } \) complex anions and K+ cations.
