which are structural analogs of [M3(BTC)2]n (M = Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Mo). As Ru-precursors for<br />

CSA mixed-valence [Ru2 II,III (OOCR)4X] and [Ru2 II,III (OOCCH3)4]A compounds, with various<br />

nature of the anions X and A (strong coordinating X (like Cl - ) and weakly coordinating A<br />

(like [BF4] - or [BPh4] - )) as well as alkyl groups at the carboxylate ligand R (R = CH3 or<br />

C(CH3)3 ), were employed. Additionally, [Ru2 II,II (OOCR)4] complexes without any counterions<br />

were tested as Ru-source for Ru-MOF preparation. Systematic studies were<br />

conducted and five phase-pure Ru-MOFs were obtained. The set of characterization data<br />

support indicated the analytical compositions and the structural analogy of the prepared<br />

Ru-MOFs with the [M3(BTC)2]n family. The oxidation state of the Ru-sites in the obtained<br />

solids was studied by the X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy.<br />

The chosen Ru-precursors, optimized synthetic and activation protocols allowed<br />

improvement of the overall crystallinity, purity (in terms of residual solvent molecules)<br />

and porosity of the Ru-MOF materials.
