[Ru.sub.2] paddlewheels as the 'spokes' in a Kagome net
Synthetic research devoted to co-ordination polymers continues unabated. 2D Kagome networks are relatively unusual and are of interest when paramagnetic components are incorporated, because they may exhibit properties derived from spin-frustration if intermolecular magnetic coupling is antiferromagnetic. Kitagawa and coworkers have synthesised a structurally elegant compound wherein [[Ru.sub.2][([O.sub.2]CPh).sub.4]] 'paddlewheel' complexes are linkers between triazine 3-connected nodes (Figure 1; S Furakawa, M Ohba & S Kitagawa, Chem Commun 2005, 865), The magnetic susceptibility of this network compound ...
