Binuclear ruthenocenes bridged by ethenes and thiophene derivatives, Rc-CH{double bond, long}CH-Z-Rc and Rc*-CH{double bond, long}CH-Z-CH{double bond, long}CH-Rc* (Z = thiophene, thieno[3,2-b]thiophene, and 2,2′-bithiophene; Rc = ruthenocenyl, R* = 1′,2′,3′,4′,5′-pentamethylruthenocenyl) were prepared. These complexes showed a one-step two-electron redox wave in the cyclic voltammograms, in contrast to the benzenoid-bridged dinuclear ruthenocenes. The chemical oxidation of the Rc-CH{double bond, long}CH-Z-Rc complexes gave no stable oxidized species. The two-electron oxidized species of the Rc*-CH{double bond, long}CH-Z-CH{double bond, long}CH-Rc* complexes were comparably stable and contained a fulvene-complex type structure.
