Ruthenium trihydrides with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands: effects on quantum mechanical exchange coupling

Aled L. Jones, G. Sean McGrady, Peter Sirsch and Jonathan W. Steed

Ruthenium trihydrides containing N-heterocyclic carbene ligands display large quantum mechanical exchange couplings in their 1H NMR spectra: DFT calculations are used to explore this phenomenon and to compare them to their phosphine congeners.
