Novel heterobimetallic ruthenium(iii)–cobalt(ii) compounds constructed from trans-[RuIII(Q)2(CN)2]− (Q = 8-quinolinolato): synthesis, structures and magnetic properties†
Abstract
Reaction of [RuII(PPh3)3Cl2] with HQ and KCN produces a new dicyanoruthenium(III) building block, [RuIII(Q)2(CN)2]−. It reacts with hydrated CoCl2 in
