The complex tris-(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonato-) ruthenium(III), hereafter referred to as Ru(hfacac)3, has been synthesized. Ultraviolet and visible spectroscopic measurements of the complex in ethanol revealed three prominent absorption bands at 287, 374 and 525 nm with molar absorptivity coefficients of 4.113, 3.885 and 3.59 respectively. Magnetic susceptibility measurements between 78 and 296 K revealed the complex to assume a low spin configuration of e0 t2g5 and an oxidation state of
