NA2[RU(NO2)4(NO)(OH)].2H2O - A REDETERMINATION

Disodium hydroxotetranitro(nitroso)ruthenate(III) dihydrate, M(r) = 414.1, monoclinic, C2/m, a = 12.8765 (6), b = 14.5867 (9), c = 7.4478 (4) angstrom, beta = 121.521 (3)-degrees, V = 1192.5 angstrom 3, Z = 4, D(x) = 2.306 Mg m-3, lambda-BAR(Mo K-alpha) = 0.71073 angstrom, mu = 1.430 mm-1, F(000) = 808, T = 298 K, R = 0.0251 for 1760 unique observed reflections. We have redetermined the structure of the title compound by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. After recalculation of the bond lengths derived in the neutron diffraction study, the distances involving the non-H atoms show no significant differences between the two determinations.
