title: Ruthenium trihydrides with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands: effects on quantum mechanical exchange coupling.
abstract: Ruthenium trihydrides containing N-heterocyclic carbene ligands display large quantum mechanical exchange couplings in their 1H NMR spectra: DFT calculations are used to explore this phenomenon and to compare them to their phosphine congeners.
