Electrochemical synthesis has enabled several sequences of triple chloride bridged diruthenium complexes of general type [L3-xClxRuCl3RuClyL3-y]z z+ 1 z+2 (L = soft neutral ligand) to be generated. The intervalence charge transfer bands in the optical spectra of the mixed-valence RuII,III 2 compounds and variable temperature magnetic measurements for the corresponding RuIII.III 2 complexes reveal that the degree of metal-metal interaction in these confacial bioctahedral systems decreases as the molecular asymmetry (y-x) increases.
