A new di-ruthenium complex prepared by the aerobic oxidation of trans Ru(1,4,7,11-tetraazacyclo-tetradecane) Cl{sub 2} has been investigated. The FAB mass spectrum shows mass peaks centered at m/z 732 and the isotopic ion distribution pattern gives the composition C{sub 20}H{sub 36}N{sub 8}Cl{sub 4}Ru{sub 2}. This paper gives evidence supporting characterization of this species as the ruthenium analogue of a di-iron complex with a delocalized pi system (Inorg. Chem. 1992, 31, 717) bridging two tetraazamacrocycles. The di-ruthenium complex, like the di-iron has a very intense electronic transition in the near-infrared.
