Torsion Effects Beyond the δ Bond and the Role of π Metal-Ligand Interactions

Previous studies on bimetallic paddlewheel compounds have established a direct correlation between metal–metal distance and ligand torsion angles, leading to the rule that higher torsion results in longer metal-metal bond distances. Here, the new discovery based on diarylformamidinate Ru₂⁵⁺ paddlewh...
