Published: August 2023

Both pseudo-octahedral and pseudo-square pyramidal bis-iminoxolene complexes -(Diso)RuCl and -(Diso)Ru(PPh) are structurally distorted, with the ruthenium atom slipping off the twofold axis of the idealized coordination polyhedra. These distortions take place because they allow or enhance π interactions between ruthenium and the iminoxolene π orbitals.
