Abstract
The terminal carbide ligands in [(Cy3P)2X2Ru≡C] complexes (X=halide or pseudohalide) coordinate molecular iodine, affording charge-transfer complexes rather than oxidation products. Crystallographic and vibrational spectroscopic data show the perturbations of iodine to vary with the auxiliary ligand sphere on ruthenium, demonstrating the σ-donor properties of carbide complexes to be tunable.
