Abstract
Abstract Dimagnesium ruthenium tetrahydride (Mg 2 RuH 4 ) and its deuteride were synthesized by the reaction of magnesium with ruthenium under a hydrogen (deuterium) pressure and characterized by X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmcm . The structure contains a new 16-electron low spin [RuD 4 ] 4 complex anion of C 2v symmetry which derives from the octahedral 18-electron [RuD e ] 4- complex anion in Mg 2 RuD 6 by removal of two cis deuterium ligands.
