Lyotropic behavior of diruthenium (II,III) alkoxybenzoates in dodecane
The lyotropic behavior of three mixed valence diruthenium(II,III) alkoxybenzoates in dodecane mixtures has been analyzed. The studied compounds, namely, Ru2(3,4,5-B3OC14)4Cl [1] (3,4,5-B3OC14 = 3,4,5-tri(n-tetradecyloxy)benzoate), Ru2(3,4-B2OC14)4Cl [2] (3,4-B2OC14 = 3,4-di(n-tetradecyloxy)benzoate)...
