Abstract
AbstractA synthetic route is reported towards ruthenium‐based structural mimics of the [Fe]‐hydrogenase metal cofactor in which the acyl moiety is replaced by an N‐heterocyclic carbene. It is observed that the pyridyl‐NHC ligand has a rather different trans influence from that of a simple NHC in their ruthenium derivatives. The basis for this difference is explored crystallographically and computationally, and it accounts for their different behaviour towards thiolation.
