Mono- and Dinuclear Ruthenium Carbonyl Complexes with Redox-Active Dioxolene Ligands: Electrochemical and Spectroscopic Studies and the Properties of the Mixed-Valence Complexes

Singlet ground-state geometry optimization of the monomer, four dimers, and the trimer of [Pt(bph)(CO)2], where bph = biphenyl dianion, was performed at the B3LYP level of density functional theory (DFT) with a mixed basis...
