Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a new ruthenium(II) complex with a piano-stool geometry.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound features a planar η6-bound mesitylene ligand.
- Dimethyl sulfoxide is coordinated via sulfur.
- The overall complex geometry is described as a piano-stool configuration.
Takeaway
Scientists created a new compound using ruthenium and studied its structure, which looks like a piano stool.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction.
