Abstrakt: Molecular orbital calculations (EHMO) have been performed on five ruthenium carbonyl clusters considered to be involved in the reductive carbonylation of nitrobenzene. The bonding in the isocyanate cluster, [HRu(CO)(HNCO)], is shown to arise mainly from the interaction between the LUMO of HNCO and HOMO of the [HRu(CO)] fragment. The relative stabilities of this cluster, two of its isomers and the CO-eliminated cluster [HRu(CO)(HN)], are also commented upon. The calculated results are in accordance with empirical kinetic data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
