Crystal Structure and Electrochemical Behavior of an Unusual Nitrosyl-Ru Complex Obtained by a Reaction of Ru2(Me COO)4Cl with 2-Pyridinecarboxylic Acid

The crystal structure and the electrochemical behavior of a Ru-complex, which was obtained from a reaction of [Ru(MeCOO)4C1] with 2-pyridinecarboxylic acid and NO2, were investigated: the complex consists of nitrosyl, 2pyridinecarboxylato, and acetato ligands. The cyclic voltammogram showed no redox wave in the region of the potential window, unlike common Ru(NO)-complexes.
