title: Spanning pairs of Rh2(acetate)4 units with Ru(II) complexes.
abstract: A synthetic route to linear pairs of Rh2 "paddlewheel" dimers bridged by Ru(II) complexes is presented. A bis(4'-(4-carboxyphenyl)-terpyridine)Ru(II) complex spans two Rh2 dimers and displays a 26 A separation between the dimers. Increased electronic interaction is found for the dimer of dimers without the phenyl groups using bis(4'-(4-carboxy)-terpyridine)Ru(II) as the bridging complex.
