Upon electrochemical reduction , asymmetrically substituted dimers of Ru 3 clusters [Ru 3 O(OAc) 6 (L)(CO)(μ‐pz)Ru 3 O(OAc) 6 (L′)(CO)] (pz=pyrazine, L and L′ are N ligands), exhibit IR spectral line coalescence in the ν CO region. The IR spectra suggest the existence of two possible “charge‐transfer isomers” for example, [A − –B] and [A–B − ], in which A and B represent different Ru 3 moieties.
