E. Melendez et al., Structure of Ru(acac)(2)(ethoxide)(ethanol)center dot(1/2) trans-stilbene:Intermediate species linked by hydrogen bonds, J CHEM CRYS, 29(4), 1999, pp. 399-402
The reaction of Ru(acac)(3) in ethanol in the presence of zinc and trans-st
ilbene affords Ru(acac)(2)(EtO)(EtOH) complex, co-crystallized with a half-
molecule of trans-stilbene as a by-product, 1. The complex crystallizes in
the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 12.288 (3), b = 28.420(6), c =
13.285; (3) Angstrom, beta = 95.63(3)degrees and Z = 8. The complex exhibit
s hydrogen bonds between the two Ru(acac)(2)(EtO)(EtOH) molecules.
