Abstract
A heterometal assembled complex of tetrakis(μ-butanoato)diruthenium(II,III) and tetracyanidoaurate(III) [RuIIRuIII(n-C3H7COO)4AuIII(CN)4]n was synthesized and characterized by the elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The single-crystal X-ray structure analysis revealed that the complex consists of zigzag chain molecules of alternating arrangement of the Ru2(n-C3H7COO)4+ and Au(CN)4– units with cis-bridging mode of the Au(CN)4– units. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility data (4.5—300 K) showed that the magnetic interaction between the dinuclear RuIIRuIII units (S= 3/2) is negligibly small with a zero-field splitting parameter D value of 60 cm-1.
