Title: Layered (2-D) Structure of [Ru2(O2CMe)4]2[Ni(CN)4] Determined via Rietveld Refinement of Synchrotron Powder Diffraction Data

OSTI ID:1042188

Reaction of [Ru{sub 2}(O{sub 2}CMe){sub 4}]Cl and K{sub 2}[Ni(CN){sub 4}] forms [Ru{sub 2}(O{sub 2}CMe){sub 4}]{sub 2}[Ni(CN){sub 4}] with the targeted layered structure possessing Ru-N{triple_bond}C-Ni linkages, albeit strained, with Ru-N{triple_bond}C and Ni-C{triple_bond}N angles in the range of 147-167{sup o}. The magnetic properties of [Ru{sub 2}(O{sub 2}CMe){sub 4}]{sub 2}[Ni(CN){sub 4}] can be fit to a zero-field splitting model with D/k{sub B} = 95 K (66 cm{sup -1}).
