Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [RuCl(6-hydroxypicolinato)(2,2′;6′,2″-terpyridine)]·(N,N-dimethylformamide)

Abstract

The structure of [RuCl(6-hydroxypicolinato)(2,2′;6′,2″-terpyridine)]·(N,N-dimethylformamide) was determined by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallized in a monoclinic system and was characterized thus: P2₁/c, a = 15.7325(19), b = 10.0621(10), c = 15.6422(19)Å, β = 105.112(3)°, Z = 4, V = 2390.6(5)ų. The crystal structure was solved by the SIR97 direct method and refined by full-matrix least-squares on F² to final values of R1 = 0.1155 and wR2 = 0.1018 for all data.
