title: Ruthenium biimidazole complexes as anion receptors.
abstract: The behavior of the compound [RuCl(cym)(H2biim)][BAr'4] (cym = eta6-para-isopropylmethylbenzene, Ar' = 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl), synthesized from [[RuCl(cym)]2(mu-Cl)2], H2biim and NaBAr'4, has been studied as a receptor of anions both in solution and in the solid state.
