Five new heterometallic complexes with a {Ln[RuNO(μ-NO 2 ) 4 -(μ 3 -OH)] 2 Ln} (Ln = Ce, Pr, Nd, Eu) core were prepared by reaction of Na 2 [RuNO(NO 2 ) 4 OH] and lanthanide nitrates in the presence of pyridine. The crystal structures of the obtained compounds were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In all complexes, Ru and Ln atoms are connected by N,O-bridging nitrite groups and OH groups. The coordination environment of Ln 3+ is completed by oxygen atoms of nitrate ions and water molecules and by nitrogen atoms of pyridine molecules. Magnetic interactions between lanthan-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
