Influence of Solvent Effects on the Basicity of Pentaammine(pyrazine)ruthenium (H) and Pentacyano(pyrazine)ruthenate(II) Ions: A Density Functional Study

Quantum chemical calculations using density functional theory have been carried out to investigate the basicity of pentaammine(pyrazine)ruthenium(II) and pentacyano(pyrazine)ruthenate(II) ions. Gas phase equilibrium geometries were fully optimized at the local density approximation (LDA) level. Sing...
