Abstract
The Raman spectra of [Ru-2(mu-O-2(Me)(2)(mu-O)(py)(6)][PF6](2) (py = p yridine) at resonance with the pi-pi(+) transition at 588 nm of the Ru -O-Ru bridge display a progression in nu(1), nu(sym) (RuORu), 597 cm(- 1) reaching 5 nu(1) and five subsidiary progressions in nu(1). The spe ctra and associated excitation profiles have been used in conjunction with a transform method to establish that the Ru-O bond length increas es by approximate to 1.2 pm on excitation to this excited state.
