Based on studies of the reaction of complex 1 with acetonitrile, the transformations are suggested to proceed by dissociation of trimethylphosphine, followed by coordination of the organic substrate and then intramolecular N-C bond formation. In the presence of ROH (R = H or Me), the fluorinated amidinate complex (PCP)Ru(CO)(N(Ph)C(C(6)F(5))NH) (6) reacts with excess pentafluorobenzonitrile to produce (PCP)Ru(CO)(F)(N(H)C(C(6)F(5))NHPh) (7). The reaction with MeOH also produces o-MeOC(6)F(4)CN (>90%) and p-MeOC(6)F(4)CN (<10%). Details of the solid-state structures of (PCP)Ru(CO)(F)(N(H)C(C(6)F(5))NHPh) (7), (PCP)Ru(CO)[PhNC{NH(hx)}N(hx)] (8), (PCP)Ru(CO){N(Ph)C(NHPh)O} (9), and (PCP)Ru(CO){OC(Ph)N(Ph)} (10) are reported.}, number={8}, journal={INORGANIC CHEMISTRY}, author={Zhang, JB and Gunnoe, TB and Peterson, JL}, year={2005}, month={Apr}, pages={2895–2907} }

The resulting shell−core nanostructured composite showed emission from the metal and the appended arene. Differential surface area, rather than gold cluster size per se, accounted for the observed decreases in fluorescence intensity of the excited stilbene moiety upon shrinking the metal core size. Tight packing by an organic monolayer bound to the surface of the Au core was achieved most easily on large composite particles, whereas thiolatestilbene S7-SH groups bound to the surface of the smallest metal clusters were found to be conformationally more labile.}, number={25}, journal={JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B}, author={Zhang, J and Whitesell, JK and Fox, MA}, year={2003}, month={Jun}, pages={6051–6055} }
