Bimetallic transition metal–ruthenium(II) complexes containing bridging bipyrimidine ligands (original) (raw)

The ruthenium(II) complex [Ru ([14]aneS 4 )(bpym)](BF 4 ) 2 ([14]aneS 4 0/1,4,8,11-tetrathiacyclotetradecane, bpym 0/2,2?-bipyrimidine) has been prepared by substitution of the labile acetonitrile ligands in the complex [Ru ([14]aneS 4 )(CH 3 CN) 2 ](BF 4 ) 2 by bpym. Both the precursor acetonitrile complex and the polypyridyl complex were characterised by Ru K -edge EXAFS spectroscopy. In addition, the crystal structures of [Ru ([14]aneS 4 )(bpym)](X) 2 (X 0/BF 4 , PF 6 ) were determined by X-ray diffraction.
