EurBest in EurJIC: Ruthenium Acetate Complexes as Versatile Probes of Metal–Ligand Interactions: Insight into the Ligand Effects of Vinylidene, Carbene, Carbonyl, Nitrosyl and Isocyanide

The complex cis-[Ru(κ2-OAc)2(PPh3)2] acts as a precursor for the formation of the complexes trans-[Ru(κ1-OAc)(κ2-OAc)L(PPh3)2] where L is a two-electron donor, σ-donor/π-acceptor ligand. The structural and spectroscopic data of these species provide insight into the relative electron demand of the ligands L.
