Descripción
Sumario:The title compound, catena-poly[[tetrakis(μ-decanoato-κ<sup>2</sup>O:O′)diruthenium(II,III)(Ru—Ru)]-μ-octanesulfonato-κ2O:O′], [Ru<sub>2</sub>(C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>19</sub>O<sub>2</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>17</sub>O<sub>3</sub>S)], is an octane­sulfonate derivative of the mixed-valence complex diruthenium tetradecanoate. The equatorial carboxyl­ate ligands are bidentate, bridging two Ru atoms to form a dinuclear structure. Each of the two independent dinuclear metal complexes in the asymmetric unit is located at an inversion centre. The octane­sulfonate anion bridges the two dinuclear units through axial coordination. The alkyl chains of the carboxyl­ate and sulfonate ligands are arranged in a parallel manner. The global structure can be seen as infinite chains of polar moieties separated by a double layer of non-polar alkyl groups, without interdigitation of the alkyl chains.
