| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Transition metal carbido complexes have attracted much attention for many years due to their relevance to a number of important industrial and biological catalytic processes. The recent discovery of a central carbido ligand in the active site of the FeMo nitrogenase has stimulated a keen interest in the properties of metal carbido complexes as ligands to other metal centers. In this study, the PI's group has explored methods to use a dinuclear ruthenium carbido complex as carbon donor ligands. It has been found that the diruthenium carbido (DRC) complex can coordinate to metal centers as a carbon donor ligand similar to N-heterocyclic carbenes. Additionally, by altering the ancillary ligands around the ruthenium centers, a series of DRC ligands with varying steric and electronic characteristics have been prepared. This work provides a new avenue for utilization of transition metal carbido complexes as unique and tunable C-donor ligands in organotransition metal chemistry.
