## Abstract The conformational properties of triamino‐substituted 1,3,5‐trinitrobenzenes were studied by X‐ray crystallography, dynamic NMR spectroscopy, and semiempirical calculations. As amino substituents all possible combinations of a dialkyl‐, a monoalkylamino, and an amino group were used. Al

✦ Synopsis
Through-ligand electronic coupling in the [ (NH3),Ru"'-1,4dicyanobenzene-Ru"(NH3)5] '+ complex is calculated depending on the donor or acceptor grafted on the benzene. The coupling strength is first discussed, showing that through-dicyanobutadiene is larger than through-I$-dicyanobenzene coupling. With this ligand, the largest electronic coupling is reached with a full 4NOz substitution on the benzene. Coupling through an asymmetric 2NO,ZNH,-substituted benzene is one order of magnitude lower. This large difference is interpreted using the number and position of the active ligand molecular orbitals relative to the druthenium orbital.
