Abstract

Ru(RuON)2(CO)10 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of forty formaldehyde molecules, four ruthenium molecules, and four RuON clusters. In each RuON cluster, there are two inequivalent Ru2+ sites. In the first Ru2+ site, Ru2+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two N3- atoms. Both Ru–N bond lengths are 2.08 Å. In the second Ru2+ site, Ru2+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two N3- atoms. There are one shorter (2.07 Å) and one longer (2.09 Å) Ru–N bond lengths. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ru2+ and one O2- atom. The N–O bond length is 1.21 Å. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ru2+ and one O2- atom. The N–O bond length is 1.22 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom.
