Abstract

A ruthenium carbene bearing a uracil (Ur) substituent has been prepared and has a dimeric structure in the solid state-the dimer being held together by hydrogen bonds between two uracil groups on neighbouring molecules: evidence for the persistence of this interaction in solution has been obtained.
