%X The Lever parameter (EL), for a series of ruthenium nitrosyl complexes of the type &#91;Ru(NH3)4NOL&#93; n+, where ligand L = nicotinamide (nic), isonicotinamide (isn), pyrazine (pz), pyridine (py), imidazole (imN), L-histidine (L-hist), NH3, trimethyl phosphite &#91;P(OMe)3&#93; and triethyl phosphite &#91;P(OEt)3&#93;, is correlated to Epc1 (the potential for the reduction RuNO++e- &rarr; RuNO 0) and v(NO) data. A correlation is observed between &sum;EL and Epc1, and between &sum;EL and v(NO), since these parameters are dependent on electronic characteristics of the nitrosyl group. For &sum;EL v. Epc1, the slope, SL, and intercept, IL, of the linear correlation are related to interligand coupling through the metal centre and to the extent of the Ru &rarr; NO back bonding.
