The formation of cis- and trans-[Ru(CN)2(CNtBu)4] by reductive cleavage of isocyanide ligands; isomer separation by supramolecular interactions with various solvents†
Abstract
The octahedral complexes cis- and trans-[Ru(CN)2(CNtBu)4] are prepared in quantitative yields from the reaction of Ru3(CO)12 with an excess of the
