Relationship between metal–metal bond length and internal rotation in diruthenium tetracarboxylate paddlewheel complexes

Abstract

The Ru–Ru bond length for Ru2II,III and Ru2II,II paddlewheel complexes containing the bulky carboxylate ligand 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoate was found to decrease despite a reduction in Ru–Ru bond order, due to increased internal rotation.
