Materials Data on RuC3Br2O3 by Materials Project
RuBr2(CO)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of twelve formaldehyde molecules and two RuBr2 clusters. In each RuBr2 cluster, Ru4+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three Br1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.59 Å) and two longer (2.64 Å) Ru–Br bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru4+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ru4+ atoms.
