The imido group in 4 binds to the two ruthenium atoms unsymmetrically with Ru−N distances of 1.818(6) and 1.952(6) Å. The reaction between 1 and 3 at 25 °C in a toluene solution is first order in both complexes with a second-order rate constant determined to be (7.2 ± 0.4) × 10−5 M−1 s−1. %I ACS Publications
