Different reaction conditions are tested using ethanol or water as solvents. Three nickel derivatives, [Ni(9-atc)2(OH2)2(py)2]·2EtOH (1), [Ni2(9-atc)4(OH2)(py)4]·2H2O (2·2H2O), and [Ni2(9-atc)4(py)2] (3), and two diruthenium compounds, {[Ru2Cl(9-atc)4]·2H2O}n (4) and [Ru2(9-atc)4(EtOH)2]·2EtOH (5), are obtained. The crystal structure determination of complexes 1-3 and 5 is also described. Compound 1 displays a 1D extended supramolecular structure with hydrogen bonds involving crystallization solvent molecules. Compound 2 is dimetallic, and both nickel centers show an octahedral coordination environment, whereas complexes 3 and 5 display a typical carboxylate-bridged paddlewheel-type structure with two metal atoms connected by four bridging carboxylate ligands. All compounds show weak antiferromagnetic interactions except 3, where a strong intra-dimer antiferromagnetic coupling is observed. Compound 4 also shows a strong zero field splitting.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationaljournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/J.ICA.2014.07.063restricted access546MicrowaveSolvothermalNickelRutheniumDinuclearMagnetismQuímica2303 Química Inorgánica
