Abstract
The ruthenium-blue cluster-mediated synthesis of Ru(dike)3 complexes ( dike = beta-diketone) has been investigated in view of the low yields this route usually produces. Only the acetylacetonato complex of the m etal was isolated without modifications to the procedure, allowing a r edetermination of the crystal structure to be carried out, previously published data relating to the structure of the racemic complex is inc orrect and is now superseded by a more accurate determination. Two for ms of this complex have now been isolated, and a comparative analysis of these is presented here.
