Metal coordination, and metal-ligand redox non-innocence, modulates allosteric C-N bond homolysis in an N-benzyl tetrazine

摘要

Remote coordination of a Ru(hfac)_2 moiety to a chetating N-benzyl tetrazine lowers the C-N homolytic bond dissociation enthalpy by approximately 20 kJ mol~(-1). The significant bond strength perturbation is believed to arise as a consequence of metal-ligand redox non-innocence.
