Interpenetrating diruthenium tetraformate monocation, [RuII/III2(O2CH)4]+, based 3-D molecule-based magnets†
Abstract
Synthesis of [Ru2(O2CH)4]3[MIII(CN)6] (M = Co, Fe) possessing an interpenetrating body center cubic (bcc) lattices was investigated utilizing several synthetic methods. The targeted interpenetrating bcc [a = 12.6621(3) Å] structure was obtained for [Ru2(O2CH)4]3[Co(CN)6], and it exhibits χT(T) that is fit to a model which includes zero field splitting.
