The crystal and molecular structure of the water-oxidation catalyst µ-oxobis [aquabis (2, 2,-bipyridine) ruthenium (III)] perchlorate dihydrate,[(bpy) 2 (0H) 2Ru0Ru (0H2)(bpy) 2](C104) 4-2H20 [where bpy is C10H8N2], has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray counter data. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with four molecules in a cell of dimensions a= 22.712 (9) Á, b= 13.189 (4) Á, c= 20.084 (5) Á, ß= 122.08 (3). The structure has been refined to a value of the weighted R factor of 0.052 based on 2887 independent intensities with/> 3 (7). The structure shows that the bridging Ru-O-Ru angle is 165.4, the Ru-O bond lengths being 1.869 (1) Á. Electrochemical studies show that the Ru!! 1-Rum dimer undergoes an initial one-electron oxidation to Rum-Rulv and that the potentialof the couple has a complex pH dependence because of the acid-base properties of the two redox states. Above pH 2.2, oxidation to Runl-Rulv is followed by a two-electron oxidation to [(bpy) 2 (0) RuIV0Ruv (0)(bpy) 2] 3+ followedby a pH-independent, one-electron oxidation to [(bpy) 2 (0) Ruv0Ruv (0)(bpy) 2] 4+. In solutions more acidic than 2.2, Rulv-Ruv is unstable with respect to disproportionation, and oxidation of the Rum-RuIV dimer to [(bpy) 2 (0) Ruv0Ruv (0)(bpy) 2] 4+ occurs via a three-electron step.
