Resumo

Polynuclear mu-oxo complexes are commonly observed for second and third row transition metals. This review is particularly interested in the mu 3-oxo-bridged ruthenium trinuclear clusters of general formula [Ru3O (CH3COO)6(L)3]n, where typically L are coordinating solvents, N-heterocyclic ligands, phosphines or small species such as CO, NO, and CN-; and n = 0 or + 1. These molecules are very versatile coordination compounds, characterized by an absorption profile with high coverage of the ultraviolet and visible regions, depending on their formal charges, and rich multi-electron redox behavior, yielding, for example, electrochromic devices and sensors. More recently, innovative approaches allowed the community to explore previously unfathomable applications for this type of system, such as trypanocidal or anticancer agents. Besides their intrinsic characteristics, they have also been used as building blocks for extended structures, opening up a whole new range of options. This text invites the readers to a description, from a structural point of view, of monomeric and extended compounds obtained from the primary unit [Ru3O(RCOO)6]n, reported on the last 20 years. In addition, we present an overview of the compounds' applications, focusing on their use as catalysts, in the construction of (AU)
