X-Ray structure and characterization of a novel dithiocarbamato-complex of ruthenium(III) containing a metal–metal bond
Abstract
Reaction of tris-(NN-diethyldithiocarbamato)-ruthenium(III)[Ru(Et2dtc)3] with boron trifluoride in benzene solution open to the air gives a dark red ben-zene-insoluble compound which has been found by X-ray crystallography to be [Ru2(Et2dtc)5]+BF4– with two types of bridging dithiocarbamato-ligands.
