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) --&amp;gt; pi* (L, tetrazine) and dpi(Ru-II) --&amp;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.
