Figure 4.14: DFT-calculated electron density distribution plots for the investigated<br />

complexes illustrating steric hindrance by the bridging pyrazine ligand and<br />

the coordinated thiourea nucleophiles. The blue (arrows indicate the least<br />

sterically hindered pathway for the incoming thiourea nucleophiles, while<br />

the red arrows indicate pathways that are subject to increased axial<br />

steric hindrance by the methyl groups present on the linker and the<br />

already attached thiourea ligand.<br />
