title: A novel heteroleptic paddlewheel diruthenium bicyclic guanidinate complex: synthesis, structure, and scope.
abstract: A novel paddlewheel or 'lantern' heteroleptic diruthenium guanidinate complex Ru(2)(TBO)(2)(OAc)(2)Cl x 3MeCN (1 x 3MeCN) was synthesized and structurally characterized. Compared with a known tetra-substituted di-ruthenium guanidinate complex Ru(2)(TBD)(4)Cl, 1 revealed structural dissimilarities with internal twisting.
