cationic parts, 1″, 2″ and 3″, of the investigated complexes 1, 2 and 3 were carried out by DFT. The molecular geometry and mode of attachment of Ru(II) with DMSO were performed with the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory and basis set. Theoretical to the experimental agreement was achieved for analysis of IR data of the investigated complexes. Additional information about binding between the ruthenium atom and the DMSO ligand has been obtained by NBO analysis.
