Materials Data on Ge2RuC4(Cl3O2)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ru(CO)4(GeCl3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight trichlorogermane molecules and four Ru(CO)4 clusters. In each Ru(CO)4 cluster, Ru6+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four C atoms. There is one shorter (1.96 Å) and three longer (1.97 Å) Ru–C bond length. There are four inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ru6+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.15 Å. In the second C site, C is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Ru6+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.15 Å. In the third C site, C is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Ru6+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.15 Å. In the fourth C site, C is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ru6+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.15 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C atom.
