Newly characterized double ring-slipped structure of a metallocene derivative (IMAGE)
Caption
An X-ray structure of the double ring-slipped ruthenocene derivative (a metallocene derivative where the metal is ruthenium), with ruthenium (pink), carbon (grey), hydrogen (green) and nitrogen (blue) atoms shown. This rare, relatively stable intermediate was isolated by the researchers by incorporating a pincer ligand, pictured here linking to the ruthenium metal atom from above. The pincer ligand binds the metal through three different atomic sites on the ligand.
