Diruthenium(iii,iii) diphosphonate with a spin ground state S = 2†
Abstract
Complexes containing a Ru2n+ core (n = 4, 5 or 6) have been of great interest because of their variety of electronic configurations and magnetic properties. Herein, we report a novel homovalent Ru26+-based complex, (H2pip)2[Ru2(hedp)2Cl2]·6H2O (pip =
