Abstract
Molecular orbital calculations (EHMO) have been performed on five ruthenium carbonyl clusters considered to be involved in the reductive carbonylation of nitrobenzene. The bonding in the isocyanate cluster, [HRu3(CO)9(HNCO)]-, is shown to arise mainly from the interaction between the LUMO of HNCO and HOMO of the [HRu3(CO)9]- fragment. The relative stabilities of this cluster, two of its isomers and the CO-eliminated cluster [HRu3(CO)9(HN)]-, are also commented upon. The calculated results are in accordance with empirical kinetic data.
