Abstract
Having two open coordination sites on the diruthenium complex makes for the ability to be able to be more precise when interacting with other compound. The side-on bonding of the bis(dihydrogen) gives it unique characteristics as well as unique capabilities. The Oganotransition Metal Chemistry book says that the dihydrogen is bonded by the donation of electrons from the H-H sigma bond as well as the back donation of electron density through the transition metal.3
In the past, many groups have studies on a mononuclear Ruthenium compound similar to the one we are synthesizing (see figure one). Our goal was to find out these characteristics and capabilities of the dihydrogen diruthenium.
