title: Reversible carbon-carbon bond formation between carbonyl compounds and a ruthenium pincer complex.
abstract: This communication describes the reversible reaction of a ruthenium pincer complex with a variety of carbonyl compounds. Both NMR spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic characterization of isomeric carbonyl adducts are reported, and the equilibrium constants for carbonyl binding have been determined.
