44. DFT calculations were performed with the Gaussian 98 software package using the mPW1PW91 hybrid functional. The basis set that was used included a standard SDD which was augmented with an f-polarization function for Ru and 4-31G(d) for the other atoms. The atomic charges resulted from a natural population analysis (NPA). Computational details and the corresponding list of references are given as Supporting Information.
