Despite an increase in bond order from 1.0 to 1.5 an expansion of the RuRu bond of 0.084 Å is observed on going from the Ru   2 III ‐complex 1 to the Ru III Ru IV ‐complex 2 —an electron is removed from an antibonding molecular orbital. The red‐violet, diamagnetic, dinuclear complex 1 is protonated at the μ‐oxo bridge by strong acids (2 M HCl), resulting in formation of the corresponding μ‐hydroxo complex in which the Ru III centers (d 5 , low spin) are coupled antiferromagnetically ( J = −218 cm −1 ).
