CCL: How to predict the tendency of metal complex to form dimer and polymer



 Sent to CCL by: "Mo  Fateh" [mo.fateh*_*yahoo.com]
 Dear CCLers,
 We synthesized some Ruthenium (III) tetradentate complexes and did
 elemental, thermal, spectroscopic, and magnetic analyses. These analyses
 shyly suggest that the formation of dimer and polymers. My experimental
 facilities stand helpless. Thus, I decided to use the computational
 approach for helping, but I do not know how get started. My primary
 question:
 How to predict the tendency of metal complex to form dimer and polymer?
 Regards,
