Аннотация:The three title cyanoruthenium complexes have been characterized by means of X-ray diffraction analysis, IR and NMR solution spectroscopies, as well as extended Huckel molecular orbital calculations examining the properties of the cyanide fragment changing with complexation and with the co-ligands Cp and PPh3. Explanations are given for crystallographic results of the C-N bond shortening upon complexation, the supershort (2.573 Angstrom) bond length of N(H)... N in the bridged complex, as well as the Ru-C-N and C-N-H-N-C bendings. Although the crystallographically found asymmetry of coordinated Cp is not significant, the MO calculations suggest a distorted endocyclic bond-length pattern indicative of the relative importance of sigma and pi bonding in the metalcyclopentadienyl interactions.
