The crystal structure of Ru2(OCOCH3)4Cl has been determined from visually estimated Cu Kα data. The crystal is composed of the dinuclear, carboxylato-bridged species Ru2(OCOCH3)4+ and the bridging chloride anions. The molecular structure is almost identical with that of the analogous butyrato complex, but the chloridebridged chains run parallel with the c axis only.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
