	abstract = {<p>Treatment of [(PCy3)(2)Cl2Ru=CH-Ph] (1) with vinylferrocene 1 and 1-ferrocenyl-1,3-butadiene 2 yielded solid products. These new complexes were characterized by H-1 NMR, P-31 NMR and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. X-ray crystal structures of both the complexes have been solved. The crystal structure of II confirmed the assigned structure and revealed existence of two sets of intermolecular C-H-Cl(M) type interactions, viz. (Ru)Cl-H-C(ferrocene) and (Ru)Cl-H-CHCl2. The air-stable, dark solid II is all efficient catalyst for ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of cyclopentene, norbornene and cycloocta-1,5-diene. Electrochemical behavior of the complexes clearly reflects electronic communication between two metal centers. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Mononuclear ruthenium complexes of tetrazine derived L, Ru-II(acac)(2)(L) (1), [Ru-II(bpy)(2)(L)](ClO4)(2) (2) and [Ru-II(bpy)(L)(2)](ClO4)2 (3) (L = 3-amino-6-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine, acac = acetylacetonate and bpy = 2,2{\textquoteright}-bipyridine) were prepared. The free L exists as a dimeric entity in the solid state via hydrogen bonding interactions involving L and water molecules present in the crystal lattice. 1 exhibits unusually strong bonds from Ru-II to coordinating pyrazolyl-N (2.040(2) Angstrom) and especially to tetrazine-N (1.913(2) Angstrom). The Ru-III/Ru-II couples of 1-3 appeared at 0.28, 1.34 and 1.50 V versus SCE, respectively. The tetrazine and bpy-based reductions were observed at -1.33 (1); -0.55 and -1.55/-1.75/-1.98 (2); -0.47/-0.78 and -1.80/-2.02 V (3), respectively. 1, 2 and 3 displayed two MLCT bands each, corresponding to dpi(Ru-II) --\&gt; pi* (L, tetrazine) and dpi(Ru-II) --\&gt; pi* (acac or bpy or L) transitions. 1(+) and 2(+) showed rhombic EPR spectra at 110 and 4 K, respectively and 1(-), 2(-) and 3(-) exhibited multiple line EPR spectra at 300 K. 1-3 exhibited moderately strong emission spectra in EtOH-MeOH glass at 77 K.
