摘要:
The structures of chlororuthenocenium(+)BF(4)(-) ([RcHCl](BF4-)-B-+, 1) and chlorobiruthenocenium(+)BF(4)(-) ([RcRcCl](BF4-)-B-+, 2) were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The crystal form of 1 is monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, a = 7.801(6), b = 14.370(6), c = 10.422(3) Angstrom, beta = 91.91(4)degrees, Z = 4, with the final R = 0.032 and Rw = 0.038. The cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings in the cation are slanted greatly (dihedral angle, 34.54 degrees) according to the Ru-IV-Cl bond (2.417(2) Angstrom) formation. The crystal form of 2 is monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, a = 24.539(4), b = 10.627(5), c = 7.333(4) Angstrom, beta = 93.57(3)degrees, Z = 4, with the final R = 0.044 and Rw = 0.033. The cation formulated as [Ru(II)Cp(C5H4C5H4)CpRu(IV)Cl](+) exists in a trans-conformation, as in the case of neutral biruthenocene (RcRc). The distance between the Ru-II and Ru-IV (5.366(1) Angstrom) indicates the absence of metal-metal interaction. The Cp and C5H4 planes in the [Cp(C5H4)RuCl](+) moiety are more slanted (dihedral angle, 39.98 degrees) than that of 1. Moreover, the fulvalene ligand (C5H4C5H4) is not planar owing to the repulsion between the Cl and the two C-1 atoms which connect the two C5H4 moieties.
