Tetra-mu-acetato-kappa8O:O'-bis[(N(1),N2-di-p-anisylformamidine-kappaN2)ruthenium(II)](Ru-Ru): an example of an axial bis-adduct of {Ru2}4+ tetracarboxylate with N-donor ligands.
The title compound, [Ru2(C2H3O2)4(C15H16N2O2)2], lies on a crystallographic inversion center and exhibits an Ru-Ru bond length of 2.2847 (8) A. There are weak intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions between the N1,N2-di-p-anisylformamidine (HDAniF) ligands and the bridging acetate ligands. The molecule is one of the few examples of a crystallographically characterized axial bis-adduct of a {Ru2}4+ complex with two N-donor ligands.
