S. Nikolaou et al., Total assignment of H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra of a bridged triruthenium cluster-polypyridine dimer based on 2D (COSY, HMQC, and HMBC) techniques, SPECT LETT, 34(3), 2001, pp. 267-277
The bridged ruthenium cluster-polypyridine dimer [Ru3O (CH3COO)(6)(py)(2)(t
mbpy)Ru(bpy)(2)(Cl)](PF6)(2) (py = pyridine, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and tmbp
y = 4,4'-trimethylenedipyridine) has been synthesized and structurally char
acterized based on H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. This species exhibits a c
omplex pattern of NMR signals due to the presence of a paramagnetic [Ru3O]
core and seven non-equivalent aromatic rings. 2D NMR (COSY, HMQC and HMBC)
correlation techniques have been required for the total assignment of the H
-1 and C-13 NMR spectra.
