One and Multiple Bonds Interatomic Spin-Spin Coupling in η6-Cymene Ru(II) of 3,5-Dimethyl-, 3,5-Dicarboxylic-, and 5-Phenyl-pyrazole Derivatives by Adebayo A. Adeniyi, Peter A. Ajibade

“…There are no direct effects of interatomic distances on many of the computed spin-spin couplings with the exception of 1J(Ru-N) which shows significant changes especially within the pair of 1J(Ru-N) in the complexes with two nitrogen atoms of the bis-pyrazole moiety. The magnitude of interatomic spin-spin coupling of the Ru-X follows the order of Ru-Cl > Ru-N > Ru-C > Ru-O. …”
