Electrochemical one-electron oxidation of [Ru(NO)Cl5]2–: spectroscopic and magnetic evidence for the (t2g5) ruthenium (III) pentachloronitrosyl complex monoanion [Ru(NO)Cl5]–
Abstract
Voltammetric measurements establish a reversible one-electron oxidation for [Ru(NO)Cl5]2– in CH2Cl2; the i.r. and e.s.r. spectra and magnetic properties of the electrogenerated deep green product are consistent with low- spin [Ru(NO)Cl5]–, and quit different from the properties recently attributed to this anion.
