Five-co-ordinate aryl- and alkyl-ruthenium(III) porphyrin complexes, and ruthenium–carbon bond strengths
Abstract
The ruthenium(III) complex Ru(OEP)Ph†; has been isolated and characterized crystallographically; its formation by the thermal decomposition of Ru(OEP)Ph2 allows an estimation of a Ru–C(sp2) bond strength.
