The n/sup 5/.n/sup 5/-fulvalene ligand constitutes an attractive matrix on which to firmly affix two metal atoms in close enough proximity to enable metal-metal bonding while allowing complexes to retain dinuclear character after potential metal-metal fission. A new synthetic approach to dimetallafulvalenes, some preliminary chemistry of a diruthenium derivative, and its unexpected photoreactions are reported.
