Dimers of delocalized Ru3O clusters linked by ortho-metallated 2,2'-bipyrimidine in mu4-eta1(C),eta1(C),eta2(N,N),eta2(N,N) mode.
A remarkable cluster-cluster interaction is operative in dimers of delocalized Ru3O(OAc)5(py)2 clusters with ortho-metallated 2,2'-bipyrimidine (bpym) in an unprecedented mu4-eta1(C),eta1(C),eta2(N,N),eta2(N,N) bonding mode; interconversion of the dimeric species [{Ru3O(OAc)5(py)2}2(micro4-bpym)]n+ (n = 0, 1 or 2) with different charges is attainable by chemical oxidation or reduction.
