Solid-state interaction of anions and the interaction of solvents with cations of the type [Ru(NH3)5(XY)]2+

Abstract
The solid salts of [Ru(NH3)5(XY)]2+(XY = N2, CO, MeCN, CF3CN, PhCN, ButCN or MeNC) have an XY stretching frequency which rises with increasing counter-anion radius. This is caused by the interaction of the anions with the ammine ligands in the complex. In the salts of [(NH3)5Ru(NH3)5]4+ν(N2) falls with increasing counter-anion radius, a result of the same interaction. There is no correlation of ν(CN) in salts of [Ru(NH3)5(XY)]2+(XY = organonitrile) with the 1H n.m.r. chemical shift of the organic group.
