We report the first example of a mu-eta(1):eta(1)-N-2 dinuclear Run complex with a polyamine ligand and elucidate the structure by means of X-ray analysis. The N N stretching vibration has been observed at 1994 cm(-1) by Raman spectroscopy, which is the lowest value of all the known N-2-coordinated Run complexes. This low value strongly suggests the N N. bond is primed for activation.
