Abstract A novel complex [Li 3 { μ ‐(H 2 O) 6 }(H 2 O) 6 ]·[RuCl 6 ] has been synthesized and was characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in rhombohedral space group R 3¯ c , with the unit cell parameters a = b = 9.948(2)Å, c = 33.376(14)Å, γ = 120°, V = 2860.5(15)Å 3 , Z = 6, D c = 1.918 Mg m —3 , μ = 1.703 mm —1 , R = 0.0244, wR = 0.0478. The compound consists of a cation, which contains three lithium ions linked by six bridged water molecules, and an anion, which contains a ruthenium(III) ion. The whole complex can be described as a three‐dimensional structure linked by hydrogen bonds between cation and anion. The magnetic properties of the complex have been investigated. The IR, UV‐vis and EPR spectra are studied.
