Abstract

Two possible reactive sites (the oxo site and the Ru site) for water on a high-valent ruthenium(V) oxo complex were examined. Our results suggest that the reaction on the ruthenium (via a seven coordinate intermediate) has both a lower barrier and a product with a lower free energy than the product of addition at the oxo.
