Abstract

A series of cyano-bridged LnIIIRuIII2 coordination polymers, Ph4P{Ln(NO3)2[Ru(acac) 2(CN)2]2} [Ln = Tb (1), Dy (2), Er (3), Gd (4); Hacac = acetylacetone] have been synthesized by the reaction of Ln(NO 3)3 with trans-Ph4P[Ru-(acac) 2(CN)2] in methanol. X-ray crystallographic determination reveals that these compounds are isostructural and have a wavy (4,4) layer structure with the Ln3+ ions bridged by trans-[Ru(acac) 2(CN)2]-. Magnetic studies shows that the magnetic coupling between the Ln(III) and Ru(III) ions through the cyano bridges in 1-4 is negligibly weak. © 2006 American Chemical Society.
