A comparative x-ray-spectroscopic and quantum-chemical investigation of the electronic structure of the complexes (RuL/sub 6/) and (RuL/sub 5/X) (L = NH/sub 3/, CN/sup -/, Cl/sup -/; X = CO, NO, H/sub 2/O) has been conducted. It has been shown that x-ray spectra, which are sensitive to changes in the electron density on the central atom and the ligand, can be used to determine the charges on them. The spectra of oxygen in the NO ligand in the nitrosyl complexes (RuL/sub 5/NO) contains information on the sigma or ..pi.. interactions of the NO group with the metal in accordance with the type of the ligand L. The orbital mechanism of the mutual influences of ligands in substituted ruthenium complexes has been analyzed.
