Abstract

RuN4H7O2Cl(NH3)2H2(HCl)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight ammonia molecules, eight hydrochloric acid molecules, four hydrogen molecules, and four RuN4H7O2Cl clusters. In each RuN4H7O2Cl cluster, Ru2+ is bonded in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry to two N2-, two O2-, and one Cl1- atom. There is one shorter (1.86 Å) and one longer (1.87 Å) Ru–N bond length. There is one shorter (1.90 Å) and one longer (2.06 Å) Ru–O bond length. The Ru–Cl bond length is 2.38 Å. There are four inequivalent N2- sites. In the first N2- site, N2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one N2- and two H1+ atoms. The N–N bond length is 1.32 Å. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and one longer (1.03 Å) N–H bond length. In the second N2- site, N2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ru2+ and two H1+ atoms. Both N–H bond lengths are 1.02 Å. In the third N2- site, N2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ru2+ and two H1+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and one longer (1.03 Å) N–H bond length. In the fourth N2- site, N2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one N2- and one O2- atom. The N–O bond length is 1.26 Å. There are seven inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N2- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N2- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N2- atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N2- atom. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N2- atom. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N2- atom. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ru2+ and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ru2+ and one N2- atom. Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru2+ atom.
