Ruthenium Nitrosyls Derived from Tetradentate Ligands Containing Carboxamido-N and Phenolato-O Donors: Syntheses Structures Photolability and Time Dependent Density Functional Theory Studies

摘要

Ruthenium nitrosyls derived from ligands containing carboxamido-N and phenolato-O donors release NO upon exposure to low power UV light. Results of theoretical calculations on a set of such nitrosyls indicate strong interactions between the ligand MOs and MOs encompassing the Ru-NO moiety that dictate the parameters of NO photolability.
