IUPAC name
[edit]I have corrected the IUPAC name as per 2005 red book- the article name may need to be changed--Axiosaurus (talk) 09:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Surely you mean triphenyl, not trimethyl? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 09:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Formate, or hydrogencarbonite?
[edit]In the reaction mechanism for the base-promoted reduction if Ru(II) to form this complex, formation of a formate ligand is reported. But from the text the ligand looks like the isomeric hydrogencarbonite ion. In other words, :C(=O)OH- (hydrogencarbonite), bonded to the ruthenium through carbon, rather than :OC(=O)H- (formate) bonded through oxygen. Please recheck the source material, which I think is behind a paywall for me. Olthe3rd1 (talk) 10:35, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
- In the reaction mechanism for the base-promoted reduction **of** Ru(II) ... . Sorry for finding the typo too late. Olthe3rd1 (talk) 10:37, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
