Organoruthenium POM<br />

The molecular structure of 3 reveals that the novel polyanion has four {Ru(p-cymene)(H 2 O)} 2+<br />

groups covalently attached to the cavity of the cyclic P 8 W 48 , resulting in an assembly with C i<br />

symmetry (Figure 5.3 and 5.4). Each organoruthenium group is bound to P 8 W 48 via two Ru–<br />

O(W) bonds involving a belt oxygen of each of two adjacent, hexalacunary “P 2 W 12 ” building<br />

blocks. The inner coordination sphere of each Ru center is completed by a p-cymene ligand and<br />

a water molecule (Ru–OH 2 = 2.142(15) and 2.230(19) Å; Ru–O(W) = 2.043(14), 2.057(13),<br />

2.039(14), and 2.076(14) Å). In our recently reported [{Ru(C 6 H 6 )(H 2 O)}{Ru(C 6 H 6 )}(g-<br />

XW 10 O 36 )] 4− (X=Si,Ge) one of the two {Ru(benzene)} 2+ groups exhibits the same binding<br />

motif. 14e In this respect, our [Ru(dmso) 3 (H 2 O)XW 11 O 39 ] 6− (X = Si,Ge) should also be mentioned<br />

as the {Ru(dmso) 3 } 2+ unit is similarly bound to the monolacunary Keggin fragment. 14b<br />
