Using a combination of two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) and variable temperature Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies the rapid structural isomerization of a five-coordinate ruthenium complex is investigated. In methylene chloride, three exchanging isomers were observed: (1) square pyramidal equatorial, (<b>1</b>); (2) trigonal bipyramidal, (<b>0</b>); and (3) square pyramidal apical, (<b>2</b>). Exchange between <b>1</b> and <b>0</b> was found to be an endergonic process (Δ<i>H</i> ...[more]
