The terminal carbide ligands in [(Cy 3 P) 2 X 2 Ru≡C] complexes (X=halide or pseudohalide) coordinate molecular iodine, affording charge‐transfer complexes rather than oxidation products. Crystallographic and vibrational spectroscopic data show the perturbations of iodine to vary with the auxiliary ligand sphere on ruthenium, demonstrating the σ‐donor properties of carbide complexes to be tunable.
