Protic- or anionic-NHCs with a classical-NHC in a single [Ru(CNC)(PPh3)2Cl]Cl pincer complex: direct comparison of structure & electronic properties and heterolytic H2 splitting

Dalton Trans., 2024, 53,6870-6874DOI: 10.1039/D4DT00623B, CommunicationNavdeep Srivastava, Amrendra K. SinghA set of pincer complexes 1, 2 and 2’ having a protic- or anionic-NHC and a classical-NHC in the same molecule are reported. Cooperation between metal and ligand in 2′ is indicated by the heterolytic splitting of H2 to give the Ru-hydride complex 3.The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of Chemistry
