Bis(μ-acetato)(μ-oxo)bis(tris(pyridine)ruthenium(III)) Ion: A Ruthenium Analogue of the Hemerythrin Active Center

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00226a053

Ruthenium(III) is known to form the Ru2(μ-OH)2(μ-CH3COO) core rather an Ru2(μ-O)(μ-CH3COO)2 species with the facial-blocking ligand tacn.We wish to report here a new dimeric complex, III2(μ-O)(μ-CH3COO)2(py)6>²⁺ (py=pyridine).
