Open‐Shell First‐Row Transition‐Metal Polyhydride Complexes Based on the <i>fac</i>‐[RuH₃(PR₃)₃]⁻ Building Block

Abstract

High-spin hydrides: A new class of stable paramagnetic polyhydride complexes [M{Ru(μ-H)3(PTol3)3}2] (M=Cr–Ni) with an unprecedented trinuclear arrangement has been synthesized. The high-spin central 3d metal ion is sandwiched between six hydride ligands in a distorted octahedral fashion.
