The results of the structural determination, magnetic characterization, and theoretical calculations of a new ruthenium-oxo complex, Li4[Ru2OCl10]·10H2O, are presented. Single crystals were grown using solvent methods and the crystal structure was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Li4[Ru2OCl10]·10H2O crystallizes into a low-symmetry triclinic structure (P1) due to the much smaller Li+ cation compared to K+ cation in the tetragonal complex K4[Ru2OCl10]·H2O. The X-ray photoelectron spectra confirm only the single valent Ru4+ in Li4[Ru2OCl10]·10H2O even though two distinct Ru sites exist in the crystal structure. Magnetic measurements reveal the diamagnetic property of Li4[Ru2OCl10]·10H2O with unpaired electrons existing on Ru4+. Furthermore, the molecular orbital analysis matches well with the observed UV and magnetic measurements.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
