Discrete and monodimensional heteropolynuclear structures formed by tetracarboxylatodiruthenium(II,III) and perrhenato fragments.
Reaction between cationic units of carboxylate-bridged diruthenium complexes [Ru(2)(mu-O(2)CR)(4)](+) (R = Me, CMePh(2), CMe(3), CH(2)CH(2)OMe, C(Me)=CHEt, C(6)H(4)-p-OMe, Ph) and tetrabutylammonium perrhenate gives complexes with different arrangements in the solid state. Thus, the compounds Ru(2)(mu-O(2)CR)(4)(ReO(4)) [R = Me (1), CMePh(2) (2), CMe(3) (3), CH(2)CH(2)OMe (4), C(Me)=CHEt (5), C(6)H(4)-p-OMe (6), Ph (7)] have polymeric structures with the diruthenium units linked by perrhenate ligands in the axial positions. The structures of complexes 3.THF and 4 were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The tetrahedral geometry of the ReO(4)(-) anion permits the formation of a chain close to the linearity. In contrast to the polymeric chains observed in complexes 1-7, the reaction of [Ru(2)(mu-O(2)CPh)(4)](+) with NBu(4)ReO(4) also affords the compounds Ru(2)(mu-O(2)CPh)(4)(ReO(4))(H(2)O) (8) and NBu(4)[Ru(2)(mu-O(2)CPh)(4)(ReO(4))(2)] (9) depending on the reaction conditions. The structure of 8 consists of cationic and anionic units, [Ru(2)(mu-O(2)CPh)(4)(H(2)O)(2)](+) and [Ru(2)(mu-O(2)CPh)(4)(ReO(4))(2)](-), linked by hydrogen bonds, which give a three-dimensional net. The structure of complex 9.0.5H(2)O has an anionic unit similar to that of 8, whose counterion is NBu(4)(+). The Ru-Ru bond distances are slightly longer in [Ru(2)(mu-O(2)CPh)(4)(ReO(4))(2)](-) than in the polymeric compounds Ru(2)(mu-O(2)CR)(4)(ReO(4)). The magnetic behavior owes to the existence of zero-field splitting (ZFS) and a weak antiferromagnetic coupling. The experimental data are fitted with a model that considers the ZFS effect using the Hamiltonian (D) = SDS. The weak antiferromagnetic coupling is introduced as a perturbation, using the molecular field approximation.
