| Abstract | The electron distributions and bonding in Ru$_{3}$(CO)$_{9}$(μ $^{3}$-η $^{2}$,η $^{2}$,η $^{2}$-C$_{6}$H$_{6}$) and Ru$_{3}$(CO)$_{9}$(μ $^{3}$-η $^{2}$,η $^{2}$,η $^{2}$-C$_{60}$) are examined via electronic structure calculations in order to compare the nature of ligation of benzene and buckminsterfullerene to the common Ru$_{3}$(CO)$_{9}$ inorganic cluster. A fragment orbital approach, which is aided by the relatively high symmetry that these molecules possess, reveals important features of the electronic structures of these two systems. Reported crystal structures show that both benzene and C$_{60}$ are geometrically distorted when bound to the metal cluster fragment, and our ab initio calculations indicate that the energies of these distortions are similar. The experimental Ru–C$_{fullerene}$ bond lengths are shorter than the corresponding Ru–C$_{benzene}$ distances and the Ru–Ru bond lengths are longer in the fullerene-bound cluster than for the benzene-ligated cluster. Also, the carbonyl stretching frequencies are slightly higher for Ru$_{3}$(CO)$_{9}$(μ $^{3}$-η $^{2}$,η $^{2}$,η $^{2}$-C$_{60}$) than for Ru$_{3}$(CO)$_{9}$(μ $^{3}$-η $^{2}$,η $^{2}$,η $^{2}$-C$_{6}$H$_{6}$). As a whole, these observations suggest that electron density is being pulled away from the metal centers and CO ligands to form stronger Ru–C$_{fullerene}$ than Ru–C$_{benzene}$ bonds. Fenske-Hall molecular orbital calculations show that an important interaction is donation of electron density in the metal–metal bonds to empty orbitals of C$_{60}$ and C$_{6}$H$_{6}$. Bonds to the metal cluster that result from this interaction are the second highest occupied orbitals of both systems. A larger amount of density is donated to C$_{60}$ than to C$_{6}$H$_{6}$, thus accounting for the longer metal–metal bonds in the fullerene-bound cluster. The principal metal–arene bonding modes are the same in both systems, but the more band-like electronic structure of the fullerene (i.e., the greater number density of donor and acceptor orbitals in a given energy region) as compared to C$_{6}$H$_{6}$ permits a greater degree of electron flow and stronger bonding between the Ru$_{3}$(CO)$_{9}$ and C$_{60}$ fragments. Of significance to the reduction chemistry of M$_{3}$(CO)$_{9}$(μ $^{3}$-η $^{2}$,η $^{2}$,η $^{2}$-C$_{60}$) molecules, the HOMO is largely localized on the metal–carbonyl fragment and the LUMO is largely localized on the C$_{60}$ portion of the molecule. The localized C$_{60}$ character of the LUMO is consistent with the similarity of the first two reductions of this class of molecules to the first two reductions of free C$_{60}$. The set of orbitals above the LUMO shows partial delocalization (in an antibonding sense) to the metal fragment, thus accounting for the relative ease of the third reduction of this class of molecules compared to the third reduction of free C$_{60}$. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
